Who We Are
Renewing Christian Disciples,
Strengthening Local Churches
Crossroads Emmaus Community is a 501(c)(3) non-profit made up of people from Southeastern Pennsylvania counties, created to build disciples of Christ and strengthen local church leaders through the Walk to Emmaus® ministry.
The Walk to Emmaus® is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church by developing Christian disciples and leaders. The program’s approach seriously considers the model of Christ’s servanthood and encourages Christ’s disciples to act in ways appropriate to being “a servant to all”.
The Walk to Emmaus is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers.
The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with prayerful discernment and an invitation from a sponsor. After one accepts this invitation they complete an application for the three-day experience. The Emmaus leaders prayerfully consider each applicant and in God’s time, the person is invited to attend a three-day "walk" to experience New Testament Christianity as a lifestyle.
Following the three-day experience, participants are often joined in small groups to support each other in their ongoing walk with Christ. Through the formational process of accountable discipleship in small groups and participation in the Emmaus community, each participant’s individual gifts and servant-leadership skills are continually developed for use in the local church and its mission. Participants are encouraged to find ways to live out their individual call to discipleship in their home, church, and community.
The objective of The Walk to Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip the local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, communities and places of work. Emmaus lifts up a way for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others.
