In the heart of Southeast Texas, the Golden Triangle Chrysalis Community provides a unforgettable, one-time experience for high school aged teens to encounter the true and unconditional love of Christ. Chrysalis serves not only to provide a weekend of escape from the daily struggles of an ever-busying world but to share the love of a very real, very affectionate God with His children in a way that is intimate and personal.
About Us
We are a community of believers who work together year-round to prepare for and conduct two (one for girls, one for boys) spiritual retreat weekends in the month summer for high school aged youth.
These retreats follow a pattern for spiritual discovery established by the Upper Room for people of ALL Christian faiths and backgrounds. A multitude of denominations are represented in Chrysalis. It is a truly unique experience that can be enjoyed by ALL believers. Many have been blessed to experience these three-day weekends and have witnessed and testified of the life-changing experience they found.Well, How Do I Know This is For Me?
Check our events below for upcoming RUSH reunions and Emmaus Gatherings to get a feel for what we’re all about. Don’t be afraid to come, even if you don’t know anyone from Chrysalis. These events are ALWAYS free and open to the public and will have TONS of food! You won’t be disappointed by what you find among us, because what you’ll find is always founded in the love of Christ. We hope to see you at our next one!
