Overview

Mission

The Atlanta South Walk to Emmaus organizes four annual retreats at Pine Eden Christian Retreat in Hamilton Georgia. In 2025 these weekends involved 209 team members and 78 pilgrim caterpillar participants. Board members conducted Key Leader Training sessions to prepare team members for their roles in various areas like the conference room kitchen dorms chapel and Agape team. These sessions ensured clear understanding of duties and retreat policies. Monthly Community Gatherings were held in local churches and Board of Servant meetings took place monthly to discuss practices finances and plan upcoming retreats.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 63% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
