WHAT is EMMAUS?
It is an organization that ultimately stems from the following scripture:
And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him; and He vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Did not our hearts burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:31-32 (KJV)
The Emmaus community conducts a three-day spiritual renewal program called the "Walk to Emmaus". After attending a Walk, there is a built in community that offers ongoing love and support. Click here to find out more.
If you are interested in attending a Walk, please go to our Contacts page to find a list of people that would be happy to help you.
The Walks are held at Canyon Camp near Hinton, OK.
What are Chrysalis and Journey?
The Chrysalis and Journey programs offer similar programs that are oriented toward young adults and youth. Journey is aimed at young adults and Chrysalis serves the younger teen community.
