Welcome to our Piedmont Chrysalis Community! We are so glad you are visiting our website. We hope you will take a look around and especially check out the events page for all upcoming events. If you have attended a Chrysalis or Emmaus weekend then please feel free to join us for any RUSH or Flight, we would love to meet you! If you have not attended yet you can join us for any RUSH that is flagged as open. We would love to meet you and introduce you to the community.
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 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.
Technically to become a member of the community you will need to attend either a Chrysalis Flight, Chrysalis Journey, or Emmaus Walk. There are different age ranges for each weekend. If you have questions or would like more information about which weekend would suit you best please feel free to email us at communityld@piemdontchrysalis.org.
The goal of Chrysalis is to raise up strong leaders in the church and in the community. It is best if you already have or are open to having a relationship with Christ before attending a weekend. This way you can get the most of out your weekend and can grow in your spirituality. We, as a group, love serving others and caring for each other. We are a very close community that is founded on prayer and love. We strive to be the hands and feet of Christ in our own churches and communities.
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.
