Church is not a once a week activity that we do. Church is the act of serving and love God every day of the week. Here at Emmaus Road, we take seriously the idea of the church serving beyond Sunday mornings. Listed here are just a few of the many ministries that our members serve during the week.
New Horizons
We have a long-standing history partnering alongside New Horizons ministry. From having our worship services within their ministry building for years to our monthly Wednesday nights serving dinner to the youth, New Horizons has been a ministry close to our hearts. They are a ministry in the downtown Seattle area that helps to serve the youth on the streets. From 1978 they have been helping connect youth in need with basic services they need and good relationships with adults.
Aurora Commons
Aurora Commons is a ministry on the Aurora corridor serving those without homes. It was started by one of our sister churches a few years ago. We build street packs for them on our Service Sundays, one of our small groups provides meals, and more members help serve in other ways.
Maple Leaf Neighborhood Events
Winter Solstice - Warm up the cold dark days, celebrate the longest night of the year, and enjoy time with friends and neighbors while singing along to the Christmas carol favorites. Food and Spirits provided. Hosted on the weekend closest to Winter Solstice at the church.
Easter Egg Hunt - Join hundreds of Maple Leaf families and residents as we descend upon the Maple Leaf Reservoir for an Easter egg Hunt like no other. Games, balloon art, face painting and food - this event has become an anticipated event in the Maple Leaf Neighborhood.
