About the Walk to Emmaus

The Walk to Emmaus is a program of The Upper Room, an International, Ecumenical, and Inter-Denominational ministry dedicated to supporting the spiritual life of Christians seeking to know and experience God more fully.

​

The Ecumenical nature of our time together means we must remain open and understanding to the differences in our denominational doctrines and traditions represented in this group of people. In our time over an Emmaus Weekend, we chose to be about the things that unite us, not those that divide us. When something is said or shared that you may disagree with, know that this is not the platform for taking that stand. What we should do in that instance is to take those questions and understandings back to our home churches and spiritual leaders for deeper discussion and exploration.

​

We celebrate Holy Communion daily on the Walk to Emmaus, and at every Emmaus meeting, and in ways that could be different than any you may have experienced.  We discuss deeply our faith and our experience.  The Walk to Emmaus weekend is a time for deeper fellowship than most Christians will have ever experienced.
