The Gospel of St. Luke relates the story of the risen Christ appearing to two disciples who were walking along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35).  This story provides the image of the Walk to Emmaus, an Upper Room program that calls for and supports Christian discipleship.  

The Pecos River Valley Emmaus Community

of Southeastern New Mexico and Western Texas

 is dedicated to …

… providing an environment in which any Christian may experience a new or renewed encounter with the living and personal God, reappraise priorities, and make a deeper commitment to Christian discipleship.

… providing nurture, support, and fellowship of a New Testament Christian community by way of worship, instruction, small-group sharing, spiritual guidance, and selfless service, throughout the Fourth Day.

… equipping Christians to be effective and intentional about proclaiming the gospel of Christ and living a Christian life daily in their homes, churches, places of work, and community.
