The walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders..
- What we do with our lives matters and the priorities we choice matter
- The Grace of God is difficult to comprehend but fundamental to our personal growth
- We believe all Christians are disciples each blessed with different skills
- We believe we don’t have to accept the world as we know it and that we can change it
- Perseverance is a fundamental human characteristic but Christians view it differently
