Emmaus Gaming

Exploring evangelism and discipleship in online gaming communities

EMMAUS GAMING IS OFFERING NEW ways of resourcing evangelism and discipleship for young people in churches through online gaming and digital communities. This page introduces the project’s approach to digital mission and volunteer training.

Missional challenge

Young people are digital natives and influenced by what they encounter in that space, yet there is a lack of Christian presence providing points of view shaped by faith.

Missional opportunity

What does evangelism and discipleship look like in this space?

Resource

IMPRINT CIO will start Emmaus Gaming, building a Christian presence on multiple social media platforms, engaging with young people via live streams, a Discord community and short-form content. They aim to train 150 people in digital mission, and link young people to in-person worshipping communities through Emmaus Gaming hubs (churches around the country who young people would connect to best if interested in moving to an in-person worship community).

First steps

Emmaus Gaming will be looking to identify Emmaus Gaming hubs in 2026.
