The Emmaus Mission is an informal missional community,

committed to the spiritual care of the neurodivergent and those who struggle,

so that they may know that Good News is for them.

We believe that Christ died and rose for us,

and that we die and rise with Him when we hear this Good News,

receiving the forgiveness of sins 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, and rest--is our best sign this News is true. That hospitality announces the mercy's offered in Christ.

We gather around this Good News, and offer our signs that it is true, through a slow and steady rhythm of scripture, prayer, hobbies and friends.

These are the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly rhythm that make up of our life at the Emmaus Mission

daily coffee and lauds

weekly soup and vespers

monthly evensong and open mic

quarterly low-key spiritual retreat

yearly Easter evening bonfire

Although ecumenical in scope, we give our full assent to the three creeds, and are theologically aligned with the Thirty-Nine Articles, one of the historic reformed confessions.
