Emmaus Ministries includes programs for those seeking spiritual formation in several different life stages:
Chrysalis serves secondary (high school) young persons fifteen to eighteen years old;
Journey to the Table serves young adults eighteen to thirty-five years old;
Walk to Emmaus serves adults eighteen years and older;
Face to Face serves adults sixty years or older.
Each of the Emmaus Ministries programs is designed to be an extraordinary act of love. In addition, the ministries share these elements:
teaching of God's grace,
partnership between lay and clergy leaders,
celebration of Holy Communion,
an experience of support from the community of believers,
a sending forth with the understanding that Christ is counting on each of us,
and a structure for progressive servanthood.
Most importantly, these ministries share an experience of people loving others into a deeper realization of God's love, supporting one another's decision to walk in the grace of Jesus Christ, and sacrificing to make this opportunity possible for others.
