New to Emmaus?

We know visiting a new church for the first time can be overwhelming. We strive to make your first visit warm and welcoming, and we truly hope you will be excited about making a return visit.

Here at Emmaus Baptist Church, we exist to bring glory to God by making a positive difference in the lives of people. Whether you are curious to learn more about God, or are looking for a new place to call your church home, Emmaus has a place for you. Emmaus Baptist Church, where your church home is your church family!

EBC’s Christian Outreach Center has the church offices, meeting space, and a gym frequently scheduled by Poquoson city sports leagues and used as a voting location.

Attend a membership luncheon to learn more about joining Emmaus, baptism, what we believe, and to make new friends.

The Welcome Center door is located towards the back of the Sanctuary building and has a large Welcome Center sign over the glass doors.  Come on in and greeters will assist you in getting coffee, meeting others, locating the Children’s area, and escorting you into the sanctuary.

You will see everything…..casual to dressy, from dresses and suits to jeans and t-shirts. We want you to come as you are!  The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Our programs are filled with age-appropriate teaching, music, and fun activities all designed to help your child learn and become passionate followers of Jesus. EbcKids is led by our Children’s Director with volunteers that undergo background checks and regular training to ensure a safe and secure environment at all times. We love what we do and the children we get to work with!  Check out the Connect ebcKid’s page for updated information and upcoming events for ebcKids, ebcPreschool, and ebcNursery and detailed information on check-ins for Sunday School and Children’s Church.

Absolutely.  EBC’s Youth Director is full-time and is also the Technology Director.  In addition to Sunday morning, there’s always something new and exciting on the calendar.

Fill out the online Welcome Card or, if visiting in person, complete the communication card and place in the offering plate, letting Pastor Scott know that you would like to talk about salvation, baptism and/or membership.   Or you may choose to personally let Pastor Scott know of your interest after the worship service.  And, when you are ready, you can always call the church office at 757-868-9215 and schedule a meeting with Pastor Scott.

The COC is our friendly name for the Christian Outreach Center, a large building behind the sanctuary that includes a gym, kitchen, conference room, smaller classrooms and church offices.  Large church gatherings are held in this facility as well as organized activities such as exercise classes, meetings, city-wide youth basketball, and receptions.  The COC is also the location for voting in Poquoson’s Western precinct and hosts the American Red Cross Blood Bank.

The Fellowship Hall is located behind the Chapel, the original white building built in 1878.  Smaller than the COC, it is adjacent to a kitchen and is used for smaller gatherings and meetings.  A new breezeway connects the sanctuary building to the education building where the Fellowship Hall and Chapel are found at the end of the hall.

EBC’s Church Offices are located just inside the COC, the Christian Outreach Center.  The offices are open Monday – Thursday, 8 am – 3 pm, except for holidays.  The office phone is 757-868-9215.
