Coastal Bend Emmaus (CBE) sponsors many men's and women's Walks a year, as well as several Chrysalis Flights for youth and young adults.

The Walk to Emmaus is an ecumenical movement under the direction of The Upper Room, with a purpose of developing lay leadership for the local church.

Walk and Flight weekends are held at the Queen of Peace Retreat Center, located at 1200 Lantana Road, Corpus Christi. (map)

If you have been on a Walk or Flight, or similar weekend, in another part of the country and are moving to or visiting the Coastal Bend area, we would love to have you visit or become a part of the Coastal Bend Emmaus.

Is Your Spiritual Life in Need of a Boost?

If your spiritual life is in need of a boost, then the Walk to Emmaus may be just the answer. The Walk is a seventy-two hour experience of singing, worshiping, praying and participating in small groups where you will experience the love and grace of God through acts of service and prayer offered by a vital and loving support community.

The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge and equip local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches and places of work. My walk experience in 1991 has played, and continues to play, a significant role in my spiritual formation. If you


  1. wish to strengthen your spiritual life;
  2. and/or have unanswered questions about your faith;
  3. understand that being a Christian involves responsibility; and
  4. want to learn how to better dedicate your life to God,
then the Walk to Emmaus experience is for you.

Walks are sponsored by the Coastal Bend Emmaus, the largest Emmaus in the world, and are held locally.
The Emmaus movement does not exist primarily for the weekend Walks.
Its purposes are to deepen the faith of individuals, to increase the faith of congregations, and to bring Christianity to the world.

"Seeing how many lives were changed so profoundly, as I listened to the speakers and fellowshipped with other pilgrims, I realized that the purest form of worship is surrender."
