Learning
Chrysalis “Flights” (for 10th through 12th graders) are three-day events usually on Labor Day weekend and Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. This spiritual renewal time provides an opportunity for youth to learn more about faith, to experience Christian love and support, and to make new faith commitments. The point is to inspire, challenge and equip participants for a closer friendship with Christ and for Christian action at home, church, school, and community. Contact Rev. Rick Wilkerson
