About Emmaus ETSU Episcopal Campus Ministry

Emmaus is a university-based ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee. We meet regularly to share meals and stories, to pray and play, to ask questions together and learn from one another. Regardless of where you are on your faith journey, if you are seeking a community of belonging, we welcome you.
