Emmaus: The Power of Servant Leadership

The Emmaus movement transforms lives through its commitment to progressive servanthood. Two essential teams work together to create powerful spiritual experiences where participants witness faith in action.

Conference Room Team

The Conference Room Team interacts directly with pilgrims in a cloistered environment that fosters trust and spiritual growth. This team includes:

  • Lay Director and Spiritual Director who prepare the team and conduct the Walk

  • Assistant Lay Directors who manage the schedule

  • Table Leaders and Assistant Table Leaders who facilitate discussions and build relationships

  • Musicians who lead worship, build community, and create space for healing

  • Board Representative who ensures quality and continuity

Support Team

Working anonymously behind the scenes, the Support Team surrounds pilgrims and the Conference Room Team with prayer and practical support:

  • Team Assistants who replenish supplies, distribute agape, and serve in the chapel

  • Fourth Day Team who handles logistics, setup/takedown, parking, and countless other tasks

This progressive servanthood model demonstrates that true fulfillment comes through serving others with joy and purpose. As participants move from pilgrims to team members to leaders, they experience the transformative power of Christ's example: that the greatest among us must be servants of all.
