The Purpose of Emmaus

The purpose of Emmaus is the renewal of the Church as the body of the risen Christ in the world through the renewal of church members as faithful and committed disciples of Jesus Christ. Emmaus expands participants' spiritual lives, deepens their discipleship, and rekindles their gifts as Christian leaders in their churches and communities. These aims are accomplished not only during the three-day Emmaus Walk, but also through participation in group reunions and community Gatherings, sponsorship and support of Walks, and service on teams. Persons whose spiritual lives are renewed and strengthened through Emmaus are called to share the grace they receive in their community and to be leavening influences in their local churches. The purpose of Emmaus is not fully realised during the three days of the event itself, but, rather, in the Fourth Day

Our Emmaus community is based in Central Queensland.  We are unique in that we have community members based from Proserpine to Gladstone, and Yeppoon to Longreach, worshiping with many denominations. Gatherings are generally held in the larger centres - Rockhampton, Mackay, Gladstone, Emerald - but there are reunion groups operating in some of the smaller centres also. Walks are held at the Cool Waters conference facility, near Yeppoon.
