​​ A group of friends, 

who visit folks in the land of sin and death, 

and make sanctuary spaces

as a sign this Good News is true. 

We call these spaces Emmaus Missions,

​​​​

We believe the Good News is Christ has died, Christ is risen, and Christ will come again.  Christ died and rose for us, and we die and rise with Him when we hear this Good News, receiving the forgiveness of sin by which we die with Him and the gift of the Holy Spirit by which we rise with Him. 

​​​

​We believe Ordinary Hospitality-regard, company, rest--is our sign this News is true. Our most tender, basic, and visible sign of the forgiveness of sin, the reality of Christ, and the homecoming offered only in Him. 

​​​​

Emmaus Missions are places where people can hear Good News and share in signs this News is true, and these missions are created and nurtured through a slow and steady rhythm of scripture, prayer, hobbies, and friends--our life with this Good News.  Since all these things--scripture, prayer, hobbies and friends---happen at tables, the mascot for our ministry has always been a table. 

​​​

​​​​​​Our Emmaus Missions are "sacred third spaces," a cross between chapel, craft table, and coffee house.  What we also call "a liturgy and a place to be."  They are primarily kerygmatic--meant to announce Good News. These third spaces often become a safe way back into Sunday fellowship as well as a way for people in the church to meet and befriend folks outside the church.  And are made with special consideration for the neurodivergent and those who struggle.

​​​​​

​​These our daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly offerings:

​​​​daily coffee and lauds

weekly soup and vespers

monthly evensong and open mic

quarterly low-key spiritual retreat

yearly Easter evening bonfire
