What is Chrysalis?
Before it becomes a butterfly, a caterpillar goes through a growth stage during which it is called a “chrysalis.” On the surface it may not look like much is happening, but the delicate chrysalis process changes the fuzzy caterpillar into an awesome butterfly with wings of intricate designs and intense colors. The chrysalis process symbolizes how Christ can transform you into something beyond your dreams. It happens when you grow beyond yourself, opening your life to Jesus’ power and love.
A Chrysalis weekend shows 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 a friend, what it means to be the body of Christ, and giving love to a needy world.
What happens at Chrysalis?
You’ll spend three days with other youth from around Hong Kong 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. Think of it as three days for you to discover or rediscover
your spiritual self and to analyze and realize who you are in Christ. You’ll hear talks that address the needs of youth, offer the message of the gospel, and focus on the friendship and example of Jesus Christ. Each day, speakers present topics with life examples, followed by discussion, reflection, and creative expression of how these messages can encourage your personal faith.
What do we believe?
We believe in God, the Father, who created all things and sustains all creation by His abiding presence, love and care. We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who was born of the Virgin Mary. Through His death and resurrection, He redeemed us and forgave us, sinners. By His atoning death on the cross, He has given us eternal life. We believe in the Holy Spirit, who calls us to be a part of Christ’s Church. By His gift of faith, we are enabled to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
