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 Camp Horizon in 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!
Meet the Lay Director
I am so very grateful for the opportunity to serve Emmaus in the capacity of your 2025 Community Lay Director.
If you hang around with me long enough you will hear me say… “What we do here in Emmaus is eternal.”
Although, the primary role of the Board of Directors is to ensure the quality and integrity of the Emmaus program as it relates to the Upper Room and our covenant, I also believe we are to continue to build community in relationship to the gospel of Jesus Christ. To proclaim the risen Christ who walked with the disciples on the road to Emmaus as stated in Luke 24.
The greatest role you can assist the Aldersgate Emmaus with, is sponsorship. This is one avenue to draw others into a deeper relationship with Jesus and build His church. Let’s walk this road together in 2025!
DeColores!
