What is Chrysalis?
Chrysalis is the middle-school segment of LOGOS (a four-part program of Christian nurture including Bible Study, Worship Skills, Recreation/Activities and Dinners for Children and Youth in Grades 1-8).   The name,  Chrysalis, is a nod to this changing time in a child's life.

Our Program
Chrysalis incorporates the four LOGOS times into a different schedule.  We're also a "youth group" in that we have a caring leadership team that stays with the group throughout the night.   We start our Tuesday night with a casual singing in Gathering Time at 5:15 pm (Tower Room).  At 5:35 pm, we head to Worship Skills where we prepare to be in worship leadership (about once/month).  Family Time begins at 6:15 pm in the Fireside Room, with great food and play around our dinner table.  The final hour of our night always involves some play (activity time) and an exploration of Christian practices (Bible Time).  Our practices curriculum is based on Way to Live.
