These people didn’t believe Jesus was alive and they were walking away from any connection to Him and the shame of His cross. But He pursued them. He walked with them, talked with them, and remained with them out of abundant compassion for them. And when they arrived at Emmaus, He began to break bread with them – and then they realized it was Him. Jesus was alive, resurrected and free. After this stunning moment, they immediately got up and ran (in the middle of a dangerous night no less), racing to tell their friends that somehow death had been defeated and nothing would be the same because of Jesus. They experienced a holy encounter, and they were transformed.
We believe this story happened.
We believe it still happens.
That's why we're Emmaus City Church.
Whatever your story, Jesus knows it and He is walking your road with you even if you don’t believe yet. Jesus is Immanuel – God with us – and He meets us where we are. And when we receive Him as Savior, Healer, Friend, Deliverer, and King, our lives begin to abundantly overflow as His Spirit transforms us to be part of God's family – encouraged witnesses, willing servants, and humble learners – with a faith, hope, and love like we have never known before.

Family
God has graciously pursued us with relentless love. The invitation is open to each of us to receive grace and join together as a family who love our neighbors and our city as God does.
John 1:12-14; 2 Corinthians 6:18; Romans 8:15-17; 1 John 5:1-3
Witnesses
God has called us to share and show the Gospel of Jesus. As witnesses of Jesus' good news of love, joy, and justice, we get to reveal how God is making all things new, including us.
Luke 24:45-48; John 3:16-17; Acts 1:8; Acts 5:30-32; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21
Servants
God in Jesus the Messiah has freed us to serve others. Jesus, our Servant King, shows us that love is getting to choose to intentionally lay down our lives for others.
1 Corinthians 4:1, 9:19; 2 Cor. 4:5; Philippians 2:5-7; 1 John 3:16
Learners
God is patient and kind in helping us learn to grow in becoming a family of witnesses and servants. We continue to learn our stories through the lens of the story in the Scriptures.
