Emmaus Homes - Mission Moment

On Sunday, June 8 we heard from our own Paul Litzsinger about the work of Emmaus Homes. Founded in 1893 in Marthasville, MO., Emmaus Homes mission is to help people with developmental disabilities live as independently as possible. The programs and services they offer are for adults of any age and are tailored to meet each person's unique needs and goals. Emmaus Homes is a faith-based, non-profit organization serving clients who live in over 50 group homes located throughout St. Louis City, St. Louis, St. Charles, Warren and Franklin counties.

One of the major needs for Emmaus Homes is for Direct Support Professionals (DSP) to work with their clients. The positions range from full-time to part-time with varying shifts and schedules. Ideal DSPs are natural helpers who can work with clients to achieve a variety of goals.

For more than 130 years, as a faith-based organization, Emmaus Homes have provided quality services, caring for the whole person for their whole life. You can continue to support this important work by making a gift to the St. Lucas UCC general fund!
