The walk to Emmaus is a three retreat built around fifteen talks, given by laity and clergy on significant themes as grace, priesthood of all believers, justifying grace, growth through study, Christian action, discipleship, body of Christ, changing our world, and others.
Each talk if followed by a moment of silent reflection, then table discussion.
Each day includes worship and daily prayer designed especially for the Emmaus Walk. Each day includes break times and snacks. The three days as a whole are embraced by prayer and signs of the sacrificial service on the part of many who help make each Walk happen.
During the walk all the attendees and the team running the event are prayed for continuously for 72 hours and there are three church services held during the walk to support the walk.
The three days point to the Fourth Day-living every day as a walk with Christ in the company of one another, through a lifestyle of regular prayer, study, and service.

The walk to Emmaus is a powerful movement of spiritual renewal that is making a difference for countless individuals and many congregations and an experience in which growing Christians of all sorts come together in common affirmation of the essentials of the Christian faith.
A church renewal movement that brings together the two sides of the Christian life: prayer and action, personal spiritual growth and social concern.
Attendees experience the gift of God’s love and emerge from the Emmaus weekend with a desire to pass that love on to others. The three-day course strengthens a persons’ conscious union with Jesus Christ as the embodiment of God’s grace, truth, and compassion.
The Emmaus weekend gives attendees the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of their faith in God, to receive the transforming grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to relate closely with other people who are seeking a deeper faith, and to rededicate their lives as members of the body of Christ called to ministry in the world.
