2023 Events
Gather Conference

Emmaus members are planning, supporting, speaking at, and participating in the 2023 Gather Conference held at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo Utah, from September 15 and 16, 2023. Gather is the largest-ever Christ-centered Conference of LGBTQ+ Latter-day Saints and their friends, relatives, and leaders. The message of Gather is love, support, acceptance, positivity, and hope. It is faith-affirming, respecting that everyone is on their own faith journey, and identity-affirming, recognizing that each person is a child of God with a unique personality and identity.

2020 Fall Meeting

​

In October 2020, the Emmaus Ministry general membership met virtually to launch the creation of local and regional Emmaus groups.  These groups are led by LGBTQ members and allies who desire to provide ministry to LGBTQ persons in their local wards and stakes.  Board Members Valerie Green, John Gustav-Wrathall, and Carson Perez shared their faith journeys as LGBTQ Latter-day Saints.  Erika Munson and Diane Roldán shared how allies can assist in the work.
