The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders.

As a community, we host four different walks (see schedule for dates), two of which happen twice per year. We also have FOURTH DAY gatherings and REUNION GROUPS that happen throughout the year.

- Chrysalis Youth Walk (usually in February)
- Men’s Walks (in April and October)
- Women’s Walks (the weekend after to men’s walk in April and October)
