What is Chrysalis?

  • Grounded in God’s Presence
  • Fostering Friendships & Intergenerational Relationships
  • Developing Leadership Skills …and ongoing Spiritual Formation
  • Chrysalis is designed for high school youth ages 15 to 18

At this age, young people are making major decisions about their religion, lifestyle, vocation, and lifelong relationships. Chrysalis challenges them to grow not only in mind and body, but also in spirit and faith.

Chrysalis events, referred to as Flights, are offered separately for girls and boys to allow them the freedom to explore their relationships with God without worrying about how they may appear to the other birth gender. It provides an opportunity outside their local congregations or youth groups to grow in their faith alongside their peers.

Join Us!
