What
is a Chrysalis ?
Chrysalis is the name chosen
for the Youth Walk to Emmaus because it symbolizes faith growth
in the lives of high school and college aged young adults -- the
spiritual growth that is necessary between adolescence and
adulthood. It is a crucial time of maturing faith for
discipleship.
Chrysalis has its roots deeply planted in its parent movement,
the Walk to Emmaus. Chrysalis is a three-day spiritual renewal
retreat that provides participants an opportunity to learn more
about the faith, to experience Christian love and support, and a
chance to make new commitments in their faith journey. The
content of the three days focuses on God's grace, how one
experiences Christ as friend in the body of Christ, and how one
is called into discipleship, giving love to a needful world.
Purpose
of Chrysalis
The focus of CHRYSALIS is

CHRYSALIS lifts up a way for you to be a friend of Christ in the
world.
