Emmaus Outreach

The goal of the Emmaus program is to reach out to the families in our community neighborhoods. Just as Jesus shared a journey to Emmaus with some of His disciples and was recognized in the breaking and sharing of the bread, we are called to share our Christian journey with each other and make Jesus present through our love and acts of charity.

Reach One More 

God invites every one of us to join him in his great mission to reach one more – one more coworker, neighbor, family member, and friend. We know it’s not always an easy discussion to have. That’s where Reach One More can help. We will spend six nights showing you how to make sharing your faith a natural part of your life as a disciple.
