Our Emmaus Experience
trips are designed for young people ages 17-25 and provide a rugged, intimate
encounter with the land of the Bible.
The goal of these trips is for Christian
young people encountering the realities of their faith to have a similar
experience as the disciples on the road to Emmaus, who said, "Were not our
hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he opened
the Scriptures to us" (Luke 24:32).
Discover your faith where it all began!
