Upcoming Chrysalis Dates
Chrysalis is a unique form of ministry for youth and young adults, ages 15-24. The roots of the Chrysalis Flight and Chrysalis Journey are deeply planted in its parent movement, the Walk to Emmaus. Much like the Walk to Emmaus, Chrysalis is a three day experience of God's love and grace in the context of a prayerful Christian community. This community will consist of other people your age in worship, prayer, fellowship, creative expression, recreation, singing, and discussion. You'll experience the love of God through prayers and the acts of service from a loving support community. Sponsor’s act now!

Sunday Night Youth Programming Getting a Facelift
Staring January 8th, 2012, we will have a new format for our Sunday evening youth programming. We will continue to meet at the same time, 5-6:30pm, but we will be working hard to give our middle school and high school students a time of their own. Each age group will have a separate game, worship time, snack time and lesson. It will be very exciting. The Sunday night leadership team has been working very hard to create something that will impact our students for Christ and maximize the fun. Come on and check us out!!
