Leading an Emmaus Group

Group leadership is a skill that we never entirely master. This short guide offers practical, well-researched advice on how to set up and lead effective Emmaus Nurture and Growth courses.

Laying a biblical framework for group leadership, it includes information and advice on the following issues:

the role of the leader in the group;
making newcomes to the group feel welcome;
how to prepare for each session;
leading Nurture and Growth groups;
how to use shared meals and retreats to help a group grow.

This second edition of Leading an Emmaus Group builds upon the experience of those who have used the Emmaus material since it was first published.

Emmaus: The Way of Faith is a course designed to welcome people into the Christian faith and the life of the Church. It aims to involve the whole Church in evangelism, the nurture of new believers and ongoing Christian discipleship.
