Good News, Simple Rhythms, Ordinary Hospitality
The Emmaus Mission is
a laidback Christian fellowship,
committed to Good News, Simple Rhythms, and Ordinary Hospitality.
in the land of sin, death, and the devil
More simply:
a group of wounded, lovely selfish people
looking for a simple life with this Good News
and sharing in signs this News is true.
With a special heart for the neurodivergent and those who struggle.
Our goal is slow growth in faith, hope, and love over time
as Good News changes what we trust,
and as what we trust changes what we pay attention to,
and as what we pay attention to changes what we want.
Together, we make our way out of pride and lies,
through trouble and loss,
toward all the good things Christ Himself is
and the small good things we offer in His Name
A journey we take each day with Good News as our only shepherd
We believe the Good News is that Christ has died, Christ is risen, and Christ will come again. And that the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit has now been offered in His Name.
We believe a slow and steady rhythm of scripture, prayer, hobbies and friends is our simple life with this Good News. Receiving Good News through the promises of scripture, staying with Good News through the power of prayer, working with this Good News through the works of our hands and the love neighbor.
We believe ordinary hospitality--regard, company, and places of rest--are our sign this News is true. We believe that ordinary hospitality is our most basic, tender, and visible sign of the forgiveness of sins, the reality of Christ, and the homecoming offered only in Him.
The crux of our fellowship is our slow and steady rhythm of scripture, prayer, hobbies, and friends, as together we hear Good News and share in signs this News is true. Our slow and steady rhythms are a special combination of liturgies and third spaces.
