Emmaus City Church
City Groups
We want to see the Emmaus story of people being transformed by Jesus happen again and again. We often see this happen in a City Group's simple practices of worship, community, and mission together.

We aim to encourage and equip anyone with the compassion and commitment to start a City Group as we celebrate Jesus stirring and sending people like He did at Emmaus.

This way, we will multiply City Groups who pray for each other through ups and downs, serve the people God has called them to be peacemakers among, and learn more about how Jesus empowers them and transforms the everyday stuff of life.
What is a City Group?

A City Group is a community of people who together share and show the life Jesus gives with others in the everyday stuff of life.

Examples of City Groups:

+ Spring City Group (West Side)
+ Burncoat City Group (North Side)
+ Distributive City Group (Spread Out)
Who is involved in a City Group?

Anyone, including those who are curious, skeptical, or seeking, as well as children of all ages, are welcome to participate.

Examples of how people have engaged in City Groups:

+ Befriending and praying for dancers in strip clubs
+ Walking in solidarity with refugee neighbors in the city
+ Helping to build and grow community at a gym or on a field
+ Caring for their neighborhood properties and people
