ABOUT Emmaus 

The Campbellsville Emmaus Community is a local group dedicated to building a strong, supportive family of believers across Taylor, Adair, Green, Marion, and Washington counties. While based in Campbellsville, their mission is to bring Christians from all walks of life together to grow closer to God and to one another. The heart of this community is found in their 72-hour spiritual retreats called "Walks," held at Camp Knifley, where participants can step away from the world to focus entirely on their faith and find a sense of belonging with other believers.

This community is powered by volunteers from many different local churches who believe that faith is meant to be shared. To keep this bond strong, they hold monthly meetings called Gatherings, which always take place at Camp Knifley. These Gatherings are a time for worship, food, and catching up, ensuring that the friendships formed during the retreats continue to flourish. They also host special services at local spots like Elk Horn Baptist Church and New Journey Church, which help spread their message of unity and keep the community active and growing throughout the region.

A major part of their work is investing in the future by growing a community of young believers through Chrysalis, a program specifically for teenagers and young adults. By connecting people of all ages across county lines, the Campbellsville Emmaus Community creates a network of "reunion groups" where people can hold each other accountable and offer encouragement. This focus on constant connection helps turn a simple three-day retreat into a lifelong journey, helping people from different towns and churches grow together as one united family of faith.
