We believe each person is good, a unique expression of God. Our hope is to provide an environment where each woman can come to realize her own goodness, and hence, the goodness of God.

Almost everything that you see at Emmaus House has been donated furniture, rugs, wall hangings, appliances, etc… All given to us. Perhaps you see a familiar piece that once was in your family's home. And, because so many gift us, we are able to pass on the blessing. To date, we have had over 900 guest stays at Emmaus, with some women repeating. The average stay is 7 to 8 months.The longest stay has been six years. |
