The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The program's approach seriously considers the model of Christ's servanthood and encourages Christ's disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a servant of all."
Held for 72 hours from a Thursday evening to Sunday evening in an area church or campground, the Walk helps pilgrims feel and comprehend the love of God in astonishing ways. They hear 15 talks on the Christian faith, life and discipline.
Those that attend find it a life-changing experience where their faith is strengthened.
"Chrysalis" is the name chosen for the youth and young adult version of The Walk to Emmaus, because it symbolizes the spiritual growth that is essential between adolescence and adulthood.
