New Here?

You belong
here.

Walking into a new church can feel intimidating. We get it. That's why we've made it simple. Show up as you are, dressed however you're comfortable, with whatever questions or doubts you're carrying.

No spotlight. No pressure. No expectation to have it all figured out. Just a community of people learning to walk with Jesus together, and ready to walk with you, too.

I'm New Here What We Believe
It's okay to not be okay,
but you don't have to stay there.

If you're looking for a perfect church, then we're not the church for you. No perfect people here. Just a bunch of people learning to walk with Jesus.

Plan Your Visit

What to expect.

First time visiting a church can feel like a lot. Here's exactly what your Sunday morning will look like.

No registration required. Park in Guest Parking at Rockvale High School and come in through the gym entrance on the north side. Our team will meet you at the Welcome Center.

Worship and Word.

Modern worship, a Bible-based message, and real conversation. No pressure to participate in anything you're not ready for.

  • 20 minutes of worship, 35 of teaching
  • No singling out of visitors
  • Tithing is for members, not guests

Our Vision

A church being built.

We're not a finished thing you walk into. We're a story you can help write. Here's the journey, and where it's headed.

Where We Started

Phase 01

Living Room Gatherings

Emmaus grew fast. For our first season, 100 of us packed into a home every Sunday to drink coffee, talk about Jesus, and figure out life together. It was loud, it was alive, and it built the family that's now stepping into a bigger room. If you were there, you get to say "I was there in the living room when it all started."

  • Where it began
  • 100+ people
  • A living room
Done

Phase 02

Move Into a Building

On Sept 20 we moved into Rockvale High School. Room for more seats, dedicated kids and student spaces, and a home base in the community we're called to. Same heart, more space.

  • Rockvale High School
  • Kids & students space
  • More room

Current Phase

Phase 03

Building a Healthy Church Culture

The launch filled the room. Now we build what people find when they walk in. A healthy church, for us, is one where the gospel keeps changing people, God's Word has the final say, people are known instead of counted, every home becomes a place where Jesus is followed, and saved people live as sent people. That is what walking with people as they follow Jesus and are transformed by the gospel looks like. Before we multiply, we make sure this is what we're multiplying.

  • Gospel Transformation
  • Biblically Rooted
  • Authentic Community
  • Growing Families
  • Missional Impact

The Dream

Phase 04

Multiply & Plant Again

The goal was never one church. It's a movement. As Emmaus grows, we'll send out the next team to start the next church plant or campus, so another neighborhood gets its own living-room beginning.

  • Send teams
  • Plant churches
  • Multiply
