About 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 (9th graders are eligible if the applicant is at least 15 years old).  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?"
