​​​​​​​We are a Christian fellowship committed to Good News, simple rhythms, and ordinary hospitality toward our friends and folks on the margins.

​​

The Good News is that Christ has died, Christ is risen, and Christ will come again. 

A simple rhythm of scripture, prayer, and tables is our life with this Good News, 

so that we can show an ordinary hospitality--regard, company, and rest--as our sign this News is true. 

​​

The heart of our ministry is this simple rhythm of scripture, prayer, and tables, regular places where folks can hear Good News and share in some sign this News is true. 

​

​​​We call these spaces Emmaus Missions

They are sacred third spaces, "a liturgy and a place to be."

​​

​These spaces are primarily kerygmatic. They are intended to be a proclamation of the Good News we have in Christ--our most tender, basic and visible sign of the reality of Christ, the forgiveness of sin, and th homecoming we have in him. They do not, themselves, save. But they are a sign this saving News is true. 

​

We go and see people where they are then we create these places for them to be. â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹When and if they're ready, these spaces become a natural bridge back to the preached Word and the Lord's supper in the fellowship of believers. 

​

 Because the Light is when He gave Himself to us and we hold out that light when we go and see each other. 

​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​An Emmaus Mission sits between the Preached Word and the Lord's Supper in the Fellowship of Believers and the personal visits we do as friends, neighbors, and chaplains.

​​​​

If we want people to return to church on Sunday, we're going to have to go visit them, if we want folks to visit, we need to make places for them to be.
