Many experienced The Walk to Emmaus here—which is a three-day weekend experience that takes a look at New Testament Christianity as a lifestyle. The 72-hour experience is a structured event that is designed to strengthen and renew faith.
During your Emmaus weekend you will sing, reflect, pray, learn, share, participate in small groups, experience God’s grace in community and in the world, and understand Christian love in action. Emmaus is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where you will develop a closer walk with Christ and a better understand of your life as a Christian. One of the strengths of the Emmaus Walk is the follow up. You’re invited to build on your weekend experience and continue growing your faith for a lifetime.

Emmaus renews discipleship. It is a three-day experience that takes a New Testament look at Christianity as a lifestyle. It is a highly structured weekend designed to strengthen and renew the faith of Christian people, and (through them) their families, congregations, and the world in which they live. Emmaus is a combined effort of laity and clergy with a focus on renewing the church.
The “Walk to Emmaus” is a 72-hour experience. The weekend begins on Thursday evening and ends Sunday evening. On an Emmaus weekend, you will spend three busy, but very enjoyable days at Reynoldsburg Community Church in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

These talks present the theme of God’s grace, and how that grace comes alive in the Christian community and expresses itself in the world. You’ll discover how God’s grace is real in your life and how you can live in a life full of His grace.

First, small groups or sharing groups are encouraged to form and meet weekly to support the members’ quest for spiritual growth and to uphold one another in prayer and accountability. Second, a monthly praise and worship service, called a “Gathering,” is held, and all those who have attended the Emmaus Walk, as well as any guests, are invited to sing, pray, worship, and fellowship with one another.
First, Emmaus is an ecumenical ministry, and Christians of all denominations are invited and welcome. Emmaus is for the development of Christian leaders who:
