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.
