Emmaus UCC is a progressive, open and affirming congregation that celebrates the diverse theological beliefs of its members within a warm Christian community. 

We covenant with each other to further our personal relationship with God, to support the process of private discernment, and to hear God speak through a wide range of teachers. 

Our actions reflect our belief that God is still speaking in the modern World.

About Emmaus

Drawing on the heritages of our denomination, the United Church of Christ, Emmaus seeks to be a place where people can come to be...

  • refreshed and strengthened in our daily lives;
  • in the company with others who are seeking the presence of the Love of God and wanting to make that Love tangible for themselves and others,
  • stimulated into new ways of thinking about the place that the Divine and the Gospel of Jesus Christ have in our lives,
  • expanded into new ways of thinking about ourselves,
  • comforted, challenged, and empowered in our liberal, progressive, spiritual tradition.

Emmaus United Church of Christ is an open and affirming congregation.
