What is Chrysalis?
A
Journey with Christ
Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, the new creation has come.
The old has gone, the new is here! - 2 Cor. 5:17
A
Chrysalis weekend is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and
formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is
an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is
revealed to you through other believers.
The
Chrysalis experience begins with the prayerful discernment and invitation
from a sponsor. After one accepts this invitation, they complete an
application. The Chrysalis leaders prayerfully consider each
applicant and in God’s time, the person is invited to attend a three-day
experience of New Testament Christianity as a lifestyle.
Following
the three-day experience, participants are joined in small groups to
support each other in their ongoing walk with Christ. Through the
formational process of accountable discipleship in small groups and
participation in the Chrysalis community, each participant’s individual
gifts and servant-leadership skills are developed for use in the local
church and its mission. Participants are encouraged to find ways to
live out their individual call to discipleship in their home, church, and
community.
The
objective of Chrysalis is to inspire, challenge, and equip the local church
members for Christian action in their homes, churches, communities
and places of work. Chrysalis lifts up a way
for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others.

should go to Chrysalis?
Applicants must be 15 years of age AND/OR completed Freshman

Chrysalis
is Open to members of any Christian denomination.
Chrysalis
is for the development of Christian leaders who:
· Have a desire to strengthen their spiritual lives
· May have unanswered questions about their faith
· Understand that being a Christian involves
responsibility
· Are willing to dedicate their everyday lives to God in
an ongoing manner
_________________________
What happens?
You
will enjoy three days of singing, learning, laughing, worshiping,
reflecting, praying and participating in small
groups. Discussions center around fifteen talks given by youth and
adult laity and clergy. These talks present the theme of God’s grace,
how that grace comes alive in the Christian community and how it is
expressed in the world. You’ll also discover how grace is real in
your life, how you live a life of grace, and how you bring that grace to
others.
You
will have the opportunity to participate in the daily celebration of Holy
Communion and to understand more fully the body of Christ. You will
experience God’s grace through the prayers and acts of anonymous service
offered by the Chrysalis community. You will leave with an experience
of Christian love in action that will equip you for new levels of
grace-filled service and leadership.

What Happens After the Chrysalis
Weekend?
You
are invited to have a closer walk with Christ for the rest of your life;
this
is called the Fourth Day.
Those
who attend a Chrysalis Weekend are encouraged to:
·
Expand their
own spiritual lives through worship, study and
active participation in their local church
·
Become more
active disciples of Christ in service ot the world
To
nurture this process of discipleship, the Chrysalis movement offers
specific opportunities. First, groups of four to six people meet
weekly to reflect on their spiritual journey and encourage one another in
accountable discipleship. Second, there are monthly community
gatherings where Chrysalis participants meet for fellowship, worship and instruction. Third, community members
are regularly informed of the support needs of upcoming Chrysalis weekends,
and other opportunities for servant leadership.
