New to Emmaus?

We are so glad you are interested in learning more about Emmaus Road Church! Visiting a new church for the first time can be intimidating. We hope this information will help make your first visit to Emmaus Road Church a great one.

LOCATION

Our facility is easy to find! We are located on the West side of Lemay Avenue, between Prospect and Drake. Once on our property, walk under our “Welcome Sign” where you’ll be warmly welcomed by our team of greeters.

TIME

  • Services begin at 10:00 AM.
  • We recommend arriving around 9:45 AM to allow you time to get familiar with your surroundings, enjoy some refreshments, and if you have children to learn about our Kids’ Ministry (see below).

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our services are designed to help you encounter God in a variety of meaningful, embodied practices. You will experience:

  • Singing songs led by a worship team or mostly acoustic instruments in a contemporary style
  • Moments of silence for prayer, contemplation, and reflection
  • Corporate prayers including calls to worship, confession, intercession, and commissioning
  • Scripture throughout including moments of worship, assurance, and sermon texts
  • Preaching focused on the impact of the full Biblical story as realized through the teachings, commands, and examples of Jesus. For most of the year, we preach from the Revised Common Lectionary.
  • Communion. Each week as a way of responding to the Holy Spirit’s work in us we gather at the Lord’s open table. All are welcome.
  • Dress is contemporary comfortable

BRINGING THE WHOLE FAMILY?

Children are welcome to stay with families throughout the worship service. We have activity bags, a cry corner, and a comfortable area for nursing mothers to help make the service enjoyable for everyone.

If you would like to have your children participate in our Kids’ Ministry, we invite you to stop by the check-in desk located in our Welcome Center. One of our volunteers will make sure your family gets checked in and directed to the right Kids classroom. Infants and Pre-K go to Kids classrooms right away, while elementary age kids will join you for the first part of the service before being dismissed to their classroom. Learn more about Ekidz.
