Grow deeper with God.
EMMAUS CREATES SACRED SPACES THAT EQUIP YOU FOR TRANSFORMATION IN LIFE AND MINISTRY.
Many Christians long for a deeper life with God, and the kind of formation that actually equips them for the challenges of everyday life and ministry.
Yet it can be challenging to find a clear pathway for spiritual formation and training where you can grow closer to Christ, be spiritually refreshed, and develop practical wisdom and ministry capacity, all while still fitting within the rhythms and demands of everyday life.
You want more than information alone, but a way of learning and being that connects theology with practice, fosters intimacy with Christ, and equips you for the journey.
Emmaus Formation Centre creates sacred spaces for spiritual formation and spiritual direction, where people and leaders learn to listen more deeply to God, be transformed in the presence of Christ, and formed for daily life and leadership.
Through our certificate programs, workshops, and resources focused on spiritual formation and spiritual direction, we equip people with theological depth, reflective practices, and transformational teaching that nurtures growth and meaningful impact for life, ministry, and leadership.
Formation for life with God and ministry to others.
Emmaus creates sacred spaces where people can slow down, listen to God, and grow in the wisdom needed to accompany others spiritually.

WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SAYS
Emmaus formed me to listen deeply—to God and to others. The program grounded me spiritually, equipped me with practical skills, and surrounded me with a community of wise companions. I see the fruit of that formation every day.

Studying at Emmaus has been transformative for me. I learned that God wants to be in relationship with each of us, today. Now I understand more fully how we learn in community and how the church community can support spiritual formation.

The School showed me the power of learning in community. I could grow at my own pace and embrace the journey without fear of not being ‘advanced enough.’ Through this formation, I’ve gained confidence, joy, and the assurance that God is with me in my ministry.
