On July 5–8, 2018, representatives gathered from 26 different nations for the YMCA World Mission Network Conference. This opportunity was more than a pre-event to the YMCA World Council. It was an intentional effort to bring together Christian leaders from the YMCA movement for a time of inspiration, instruction and challenge.
This is the third year that the Christian Principles Network of the YMCA of Greater Twin Cities has sponsored this one day event. This year’s conference, held on May 3, brought together Y members, volunteers, staff, and corporate and community partners.
While the YMCA was founded in a prayer meeting and has had close ties to the faith community since its inception, it is not a church … nor should it be.
The season leading up to the celebration of Easter is marked by a variety of events, both inside and outside of the faith community.
YMCA’s all over the country provided opportunities for their members, staff and the community at large to participate in National Day of Prayer events last week. Here are some examples of what went on in Ys around the country.
We often encourage YMCAs to consider starting faith-based small groups, such as Restore Small Group’s “Journey to Freedom”, Financial Peace University, Grief Share, Transformational Leadership or an Alpha group.
We're dedicated to preserving, nurturing, and advancing the Christian heritage and purpose of the YMCA across America.
