Come as you are. Seriously. You'll see everything from jeans and t-shirts to button-downs. There's no dress code here. We care a lot more about you being present than about what's in your closet.

Our gatherings typically run about 75 minutes from start to finish. That usually includes a time of worship through music, a practical and Bible-centered message, and a few moments to connect.

Expect a warm, relaxed atmosphere. We sing together, we open the Bible together, and we aim to make the message clear and relevant to everyday life, whether you've been following Jesus for decades or you're checking out faith for the very first time. You won't be singled out, put on the spot, or asked to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

Yes! We have a safe, fun, age-appropriate environment for children where they'll learn about God in ways that make sense for them. Our check-in process is simple and secure, and our team is background-checked and trained. You can learn more on our Kids page.

They're part of Emmaus Kids. Our Preteens group (4th–5th grade) gets its own space during the 10 AM service — bigger questions, real friendships, and a faith that's becoming their own.

Of course. While many families love our kids programming, you're always welcome to keep your children with you in the service. Do whatever helps you feel most comfortable as you settle in.

We're so glad you're thinking about it! The best next step is to explore our Next Steps and Ministries pages, where you can find groups, serving opportunities, and ways to connect with others. You're also always welcome to reach out through our contact page and we'll help you find your place.

Absolutely, and it would be our honor. You can submit a prayer request anytime through our Prayer page, and our team will be praying for you. If you'd like prayer in person, just let one of our team members know when you visit.
