Mission Statement

Emmaus Home is a nonprofit 501c3 community. Our mission is to reach out to men and women with intellectual disabilities. Skilled volunteers work and live in communion with the men and women and strive to develop a strong family of faith-filled relationships. The men and women are valued for their personhood and inherent dignity. Through acts of love and daily sacrifice the Emmaus Home community hopes to be a people of service that shine with the Light of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Our Savior and Our King... Emmaus Home, A Place of Faith, Hope, and Dignity...

Description

The purpose of Emmaus Home is to provide an alternative living experience for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. By offering a family-like environment. Adults with Intellectual and Developmental disabilities feel loved and spiritually safe enough to explore their own gifts, personality, and possibilities. Our model of mission-oriented team living in community with our Adults offers a growth opportunity for both as they learn from each other how to become more human. By including local faith and community involvement and activities, our members are not only exposed to more people and experiences, but our local community is becoming friends with our members who for too long were hidden in large institutions or in their own homes.
