WHAT IS
CHRYSALIS?
Chrysalis is an inter-denominational three-day weekend event for Christian
young people of all denominations. Developed in 1984 by
The
Upper Room, this three-day
spiritual renewal time provides an opportunity for
Christian teens
to learn more about faith, to experience Christian love
and support, to worship, to pray, and to make new faith commitments. The
point of Chrysalis is to inspire, challenge and equip you for a
closer friendship with Christ and for Christian action
at home, church, school, and community.
Chrysalis lifts up a way for
you to enjoy Christ's friendship and love and to be
Christ's friend and partner in the world. The three days
focus on God's grace, your experience with Christ as
friend, what it means to be the body of Christ, and
giving love to a needy world.
Chrysalis is more than just another
mountaintop experience for young people. The Chrysalis
experience aims to deepen young people's experience of
God's companionship for everyday life and to strengthen
their commitment to follow Jesus back into their
familiar environments of friendships, school, family,
church, and work.
Chrysalis "Flights" are open to 10th
through 12th graders. Chrysalis "Journeys" are
open to young adults age 18 to 24.
Chrysalis is especially meaningful
for young people who are ready to think and share about
the realities and struggles of life on a more adult
level: "What am I going to do with my life?" "Who do I
want to become?" "What do I believe?" "What kind of
relationships are lasting and most meaningful?" "What
does it mean to live as a Christian and how can I do
it?"
