Emmanuel Community Development Center

Located in Paso Marcos, just outside of the Chirripó Cabécar Indigenous Territory, Emanuel Community Development Center serves as a base of operations for projects.
The center is next to the Pacuare River and consists of a multipurpose building with living space for permanent staff and short-term volunteers, and a meeting area.


There is also a kitchen and dining hall, Cabécar shelter, workshop, tilapia pond, and a small farm which produces plantain, banana, and coffee.
Our facilities are utilized by missionaries, short term teams, visitors, local families and Sunday fellowship gatherings. Currently the Center houses a family with several indigenous foster children, and is open as an emergency shelter for at-risk women and children.

We appreciate everyone who supports the Emmanuel Center financially and those who come to work with us – making cement, building, painting, graveling paths, making repairs. Your sacrifice is a testimony of God’s love to the community.
