The Details:
Emmaus is a growing multi-generational Episcopal community. We began at the request of teenagers, who approached Rev. Emilie and Deb with the request that there "should be an Episcopal church in Surprise." Today, you will find a multi-generational community that gathers with this core group of (now) young adults. To their ranks we have added younger children, parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. We invite you to click here to learn more about Emmaus, our leadership, and how we began.
We are growing! While our outreach ministries serve a congregation of nearly 80, our worship services are yet small, serving just over 20 families. We're informal and friendly and seeking to share our journeys with one another and with neighbors we have yet to meet! Expect to find a community, a family, ready to welcome new members. We invite everyone to come and see!
We invite you to come as you are. Whether you decide to dress in "Sunday best" or find that comfy jeans make you feel more at home, you are welcome.
Our service is traditional with a twist. We are, after all, Episcopalians. We love our liturgy and have adapted it only slightly to fit the surroundings. Expect a traditional Sunday service, with the informality a modern, growing community needs to feel at home. Join us too, for special events that resound with an echo closer to first century life than the era of great cathedrals.
