Chrysalis — a Transformation

What is Chrysalis?

As a caterpillar prepares to begin its transformation, it will create cocoon in which it will hibernate as it’s body undergoes a transformation into a beautiful butterfly. At this stage is called a called chrysalis. Chrysalis, as the name would suggest, is a movement designed to help young men and women transform themselves from their days of youth to spirit filled lives knowing about our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Chrysalis is modeled after the Walk to Emmaus movement with talks and discussions designed for young men and women that help them understand the grace that the Father has given each of us, and also to help them identify the purpose that God has for each of them. Instead of being called walks as with adults, these events are called flights. Participants are called caterpillars during their weekend, and transformed into butterflies at the conclusion of their weekend.

What ages are Chrysalis flights for?

Chrysalis is designed for teens in grades 9 – 12.
