Overview

Mission

The Memphis Emmaus Community, through our 4 annual "Walks to Emmaus," is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The objective of these meetings is to encourage a closer walk with God and create stronger leadership within our respective churches and our communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Spiritual weekend retreats are provided 4 times a year. These weekend retreats are for the benefit of about 300 people, where various talks are given by lay people and clergy. Other worship services and social events are held about 9 times a year. These meetings will serve about 2,000 members during the year.

Operating model

The verdict
