Chrysalis for Youth

Chrysalis Flight 

Chrysalis Flight is the youth version of the Walk To Emmaus, its parent movement.  The chrysalis process symbolizes how Christ can transform you into something beyond your dreams.  It happens when you grow beyond yourself, opening your life to Jesus' power and love.

This three-day spiritual renewal time provides an opportunity for you to learn more about faith, to experience Christian love and support, and to make new faith commitments.  The point is to inspire, challenge and equip you for a closer friendship with Christ and for Christian action at home, church, school, and community.

Who should attend a Chrysalis Flight and why? Chrysalis is open to upper high school students of any Christian denomination.  It is for the development of Christian youth who:

• Wish to gain a fuller understanding of God's love;
• May have questions about prayer, study, and Christian action;
• Understand that being Christ's friend, or a Christian, involves responsibility;
• Are open to dedicating everyday life to God.

What happens on on a Chrysalis Flight?  You'll spend 3 days with other people your age in worship, prayer, fellowship, creative expression, recreation, singing, and discussion.  You'll experience the love of God through prayers and the acts of service from a loving support community. 

You'll hear talks, given by youth and adults, which focus on the needs of maturing youth, offer the message of the gospel and the friendship and example of Jesus Christ.  Each day you'll hear 5 talks, followed by discussion, reflection, and expression of how these messages can encourage your personal faith.  The discussions explore how friendship with Jesus can help you live out your faith with family, friends, and other people in your world.

What happens afterward?  You are invited to become intentional about your faith through local church participation, small group studies, and interpersonal sharing groups.  These activities provide the fellowship and support for serving and giving love to your community and the world.  Chrysalis invites you to build upon your experience the rest of your life, to spread your wings every day.
