They have always been primarily interested in serving according to local needs and cooperating with other churches as partners.

Our Rich Heritage

InEmmaus, Pennsylvania, the Moravian congregation established a thrivingcommunity with a boarding school in the mid-18th century, evolving into a closedvillage known as Emmaus by 1761. Despite challenges and societal changes,including the sale of land to non-Moravians, Emmaus grew into a diverse boroughby 1859, reflecting the religious and cultural landscape of the time.
