Looking for community? Connections? You may find it easier to get to know people in a small group or activity rather than during social hour or at a big church event.
Programs and activities at Emerson—on Sundays and during the week–connect people of all races, ethnicities, ages, gender identities and sexual orientations. From current events and book studies to sacred texts and ethical eating, you’ll find events, discussions and activities that fit your interests, arouse your curiosity and stretch your horizons.
Come find your connections at Emerson!
