Walk to Emmaus is a non-denominational, three-day course in Christianity designed specifically for adults 18 and older who are out of high school and seeking to know more about Christ and living a Christian life. The goal of the weekend is to help develop Christian disciples and leaders by inspiring, challenging, and equipping active, adult church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, workplaces, and communities. Throughout the three days, there will be multiple talks and testimonies given by pastors and other adults. The weekend begins on a Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m. and ends on Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m.
There will be free time, small group discussion, worship, chapel, skits, laughter, wonderful meals, and incredible opportunities for self-reflection and growth in your Christian walk. If you have any questions, please contact our Community Lay Director, Kaitlyn Lasswell, at wvem22@gmail.com.
