The Emmaus Institute is deeply committed to equipping our church to follow Jesus and make disciples faithfully. As part of this aim, we offer regular equipping classes as teaching environments on a variety of relevant biblical content.
Typically, classes are offered in-person during our summer and winter breaks from Missional Community Groups. This year, we are excited to be launching our first ever video-based classes.
