Emmaus Journey Young Adult Mission (EJYAM)

Mission Statement

As individuals, we have answered "yes" to the universal mission of the Church - the mission to share Jesus Christ in love. As Catholics, we come together to provide tools that enable an ever-growing personal relationship with Him. We inspire discipleship through church community and service. This empowers evangelization (spreading the Gospel) wherever God calls us.

Emmaus Journey Young Adult Mission (EJYAM) is:

• Young adults growing and prospering in small communities as they encourage one another in their continued spiritual formation. Transformed lives, adherence to the faith, and joyfully living out their lives as Disciples entrusting themselves to the direction of the Holy Spirit.
  • Participate in Small Group study that embraces current participants, Poland Mission trip alumni, and other parish and community sojourners.
• EJYAM leaders embrace responsibility for growth and development for each participant through direct spiritual input, either one-on-one or through small group interactions.
  • They are available to lead small group scripture studies to those young adults who are interested in spiritual formation.
  • Participate in active Mentoring and contribution to the wider Emmaus Journey work as God would lead.
  • EJYAM reaches out locally and nationally to inspire young adults to grow in their Christian faith, to serve the local parish, and to motivate an expanding movement of the Gospel through their genuine walk of faith.
