Adult Ministries

The Adult Ministries program exists to help connect, grow, and equip people for real life, ministry, service, and outreach. The Adult Ministries program provides opportunities for the spiritual formation of the adults of Emmaus through fellowship, education, and service. The goal of Adult Ministries is to foster vital, growing relationships with Jesus Christ that result in lives of godliness and service to others.

All men are welcome to come at 6:00am whenever you are able to. We meet, pray, do a devotion, and enjoy a hot meal.

Stephen Ministry

The Stephen Ministry program was brought to Emmaus 25 years ago. Many laypeople from Emmaus have committed themselves to becoming Stephen Ministers and have received 50 hours of training. This training prepares folks to listen and walk with others in times of struggle.

Some examples of why someone would seek a Stephen Minister might be: job loss, divorce, spiritual struggles, loss of a loved one, financial difficulty, loneliness or other life changes (retirement, sending children to college, etc.). Stephen Ministers provide confidential, Christian caregiving. Stephen Ministry has ministered to many members of our congregation and our community here in Northfield over the years.
