~Emmaus Road Church began gathering on Sundays in the Fall of 2006. We met in the living room of a local Newcastle family.

~Jesus Restored people to wholeness and so we do too. Here we are in the Commons of Hazelwood Elementary School preparing sack lunches to hand deliver to the homeless men and women on Seattle's streets.

~Two Newcastle homes were hit hard by a winter windstorm uprooting their trees and destroying their fences. Emmaus Road partnered with Newcastle Rotary to dig out the stumps and rebuild the fences. Jesus said the second most important commandment is to, "Love your neighbor."

~One of our bands hosted "Worship in the Square" at SPU. It was an amazing evening for local  college students from Seattle Pacific University to sing the praises of Jesus and meditate on the good news.

~Pastor Rich has the honor of baptizing Dan in Lake Washington to publicly show that Jesus is his Lord and Savior.
