Assessment

Emmaus OPC began as a mission work in Fort Collins on July 23, 1993, when then-Licentiate Archibald Allison and his wife Kristi arrived. Three decades later, Allison remains the pastor of this Reformed congregation serving the Fort Collins/CSU college-town. The church maintains a traditional twice-Sunday worship pattern with Sunday Bible classes and a hymn sing preceding evening worship.
