Why Call a Church Emmaus?

In the 24th chapter of his gospel, Luke tells the story of two travelers on a journey together to a city called Emmaus. Along the way they fall into step with a third traveler who listens to their story and shares in their conversation. This third traveler shares a perspective that is so life-giving that the two urge him to stay with them for dinner. And as they break bread together they realize - with amazement and joy - that the third traveler is Jesus Christ, risen from the dead!

We've taken "Emmaus" as the name for our community because this story absolutely captures our hearts.

We are building a new church community in Lincoln, California committed to sharing life and discovering Jesus.

Wherever you find yourself on your spiritual journey, you're welcome to join us.
