RIC Welcome Statement

At Emmaus Lutheran Church, we embrace the uniqueness of every individual and respect their dignity and worth, for all are created in the image of God. We strive to welcome everyone in the fullness of who they are. As a congregation called to reconciliation, we share God’s vision of love for people of all races, sexual orientations, gender identities/expressions, socio-economic statuses, ages, abilities, political persuasions, and personal histories. Emmaus renounces the Church’s problematic actions of oppression, hatred, and exclusion. We dedicate ourselves to the ongoing work of racial equality and justice for all.

Here we believe there is a place for EVERYONE. Welcome to Emmaus!
