Serving on a Chrysalis team
A single Chrysalis Flight takes many teams of people who graciously volunteer their time to serve one of our Chrysalis weekends and you can too! In order to serve, you must have attended a prior Flight or Walk or a similar retreat in the past.
If God is calling you to think about serving on a future Chrysalis Flight, then please consider filling out one of our team applications below.
Our teams are divided into two areas on a Chrysalis weekend
Each of our Flight Teams are listed below. All of our teams operate a Chrysalis weekend according to these different responsibilities:
Table of Servants
People who serve in the conference room at the table of servants are made up of lay directors, spiritual directors and table leaders with at least five of these positions open to youth.
Music
Our music team is usually made up of three or more people who lead singing and worship times in the conference room, in the chapel and at other points throughout the weekend. We always hope to have at least one talented youth person join our music team on every Chrysalis Flight.
Logistics
As a pillar of background support, logistics is made up of one lead coordinator and two to three additional people who help coordinate the operations of our Chrysalis weekends from behind the scenes; including at least one or two youth as well.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, we always have one lead kitchen coordinator and at least one other adult to assist and provide backup throughout the entire weekend. Those youth who choose to participate in Big House will have opportunities to help in the kitchen throughout a Chrysalis weekend.
What is Big House?
Butterflies who would like to re-live some of their original Chrysalis weekend and spend more time with new Chrysalis friends from past Flights have this great opportunity to join something we call BIG HOUSE! This is an overnight co-ed gathering of young people from Friday to Sunday who all come together to support our Flight teams and explore their spiritual lives even further in the fellowship of qualified spiritual lay leaders.
Cost
The early bird fee to attend Big House is $40 and it's due one week before the next Chrysalis Flight. If paid afterward, the cost becomes $45 at the door. This fee covers the cost of food and to provide for the memorable activities that we'll do for our new caterpillars. Space in Big House is limited and in addition to filling out the application below, your spot will be secured on a first-come-first-serve basis after your $40 fee is turned in. You can make your payment anytime between now and the week before our Flight, but in order to secure your spot, please send it in as soon as you can. All checks should be made out to "CCCC" or "Central Carolinas Chrysalis Community" and sent to our address at:
