Welcome to Florida Aldersgate Emmaus!

For over 40 years, Aldersgate Emmaus has been an instrument in God’s plan to grow Disciples in relationship with Him throughout Central Florida.  In affiliation with The Upper Room, International, our community has provided this 3-day “short course in Christianity”, strengthening believers with the tools and focus to live out their faith daily, and to prepare them, as God calls, into leadership in their local churches.

 

The Aldersgate Community holds their Walk to Emmaus weekends in the pristine setting of Warren Willis Camp & Conference Center near Leesburg, Florida. While anyone from any location may attend, most Pilgrims on the Walk reside in the Lake, Sumter, Marion, Osceola, Brevard, Volusia, Orange, Seminole, Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, Hillsborough, and Pinellas Counties.

Feel free to contact us if you are interested in participating in a Walk—our Community Lay Director would be happy to help you get started.  If you have recently moved to our area, having been on a Walk in another Community and would like to become involved in the life of our Aldersgate Emmaus Community, we would love to have you!  Contact our Board Representative in your area for gathering dates and locations, as well as other Emmaus events.

We look forward to growing with you. DeColores!

Welcome to the Aldersgate Emmaus  Community website!  Whether you are a frequent visitor and user, a first timer (please click on the word register in the top right corner and create your profile), or an occasional browser, take time to click around the site and look at the new additions that our awesome webmaster and crew have been working on, like online payment options for fees!! 

As you know, The Walk to Emmaus experience holds Great power to transform lives. This power of course, comes from the Holy Spirit, but did you know that it also comes from our core scriptural values? They are The Great Commandment—Matthew 22:37  The Great Commitment—Matthew 16:24  The Great Requirement—Mica 6:8  The Great Commission—Matthew 28:19-20 and The Great Redemption—John 3:16. 

How many times during your walk did you hear these scriptures referenced?

Last year, our community stepped forward in Greatness as we refused to let the pandemic keep us from showing Christ that He can count on us. We held 5 of only 230 worldwide Emmaus events (Walks, Flights, and Encounters) between April and October 2022.  The board thanks all of you who sponsored, worked the teams, provided supplies, green agape, attended send-off, candlelight or closing and prayed for our combined 87 pilgrims.

Brothers and Sisters, I pray you will join me this year in showing Christ that He can count on us to continue feeding the fire of His love to the pilgrims He is calling to our 4 scheduled walks. We need every babe chick, cluck hen and rooster to show their Great light to completely fill the rosters and get back to the Aldersgate tradition of leading the Emmaus communities in Florida. Let’s crow and grow with Christ!

DeColores!

As you all know, we are having five walks this year to help make up for 2020 and 2021. To that end, we need Team Members for the Men's & Women's Walks #159 in March, and the Men's and Women's Walks #160 in October. Please prayerfully consider becoming a Team Member to deepen your participation in the Walk to Emmaus. We all know from experience that the Walks are amamzing, but I'll tell you from my experience that working on a team expands that amazing feeling for you!

Many of you have expressed your desire to pray individually for our Pilgrims, but are not quite sure how to find Pilgrim and team names. For each walk, the list of Pilgrims and team are contained on the detail page of each walk. 

If you would like to sign-up for a specific place on the Prayer Clock, you can view available time slots by clicking here.

DeColores and thank you for showering our weekends with your prayers.

I had an experience recently that reinforced to me just how important it is to invite others to attend the Walk to Emmaus. There is a couple in our church that often sits behind us at Sunday worship. Last Sunday, we turned around and asked them if they had heard of the Walk to Emmaus. They said they had and the man went on to say, “Over the years, I’ve thought about going, but just never had anyone ask me.” Well, we asked and guess who is now attending the March Men’s walk?

For 25 years I was a Sunday-only Christian, but my Emmaus walk showed me that going to church is not enough. We must also BE the church. Now I live out my Christian faith everyday in many ways.

My Emmaus weekend was a turning point in my life. No longer was I just going to church. I learned how to BE the church! And I have been blessed by it ever since! †♥†

During my Walk to Emmaus weekend, I experienced the love of Christ in a way that I could have never imagined. It helped me to better understand what it means to be a part of the body of Christ and to share His love with the world.

I was a pilgrim on Maryland Emmaus 102 in 2002. I was a baby Christian at the time, and my pilgrim walk was so timely and invigorating. I am eager to get plugged in to my new home here in Tbe Villages.

My attendance at the Walk to Emmaus was the most meaningful spiritual growth experience that I have ever had! I was inspired to reach out to others and to spread God's love.
