Emmaus Bible Chapel is an assembly of believers who gather together as a local representation of the Church. We meet together for sound Bible teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42). We have been meeting in Ferguson since 1956.

We are a non-denominational local church. We aren't affiliated with any ecclesiastical governing authority. We try to meet in the same way that Christians met in the New Testament, using Scripture alone as our guide. Our understanding and practices could generally be classified as open brethren.

We believe in the priesthood of all believers (1 Pet 2:5, Rev 5:10). Men who know Jesus as their Lord and savior are free to participate in the Breaking of Bread meeting and pray at the Prayer Meeting. Many in the congregation also teach in Sunday School classes and preach at the Ministry Hour, as directed by the elders who oversee the fellowship.

The name of our chapel comes from a town mentioned in Luke 24:13. On the third day after Jesus was crucified, a stranger met two of His followers on the road to Emmaus. As they traveled, they discussed the events that had taken place recently concerning Jesus. The stranger explained to them from the Scriptures how everything that had happened had been just as the prophets had foretold. When they reached their destination, they invited him to stay and eat with them. He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave to them. At that point, their eyes were opened and they recognized that it was Jesus Himself, risen from the dead. Recalling the incident later, they said "Were not our hearts burning within us, while He spoke to us along the way, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?"

We invite you to come to Emmaus Bible Chapel and visit us. We trust that as the Scriptures are opened, hearts will be stirred so that Christ is clearly seen and magnified.
