Real life.

Open Bibles.

Good food.

We weren't made to figure life out alone — and we weren't meant to experience faith that way either.

Gospel Communities are Emmaus's small groups: intimate gatherings in people's homes where we open the Bible together, share a meal, and do the kind of life that's hard to fit into a Sunday morning.

What to Expect

Gospel Communities meet bi-weekly in homes around Baltimore.

You'll find a mix of people — grad students, young families, professionals, longtime Baltimoreans — all at different stages of faith but committed to the same thing: knowing Jesus and being known by each other.

Each gathering typically includes:

  • time in Scripture

  • honest conversation

  • good food

We love each other, take the Bible seriously and welcome hard questions.

Why "Gospel Communities"?

We call them Gospel Communities because we believe the good news of Jesus isn't just something you believe — it's something that forms a community around itself. These groups aren't a program. They're the church in living rooms.
