OUR CHRISTIAN EMPHASIS PROGRAMS

​WHAT IS CHRISTIAN EMPHASIS?
At the YMCAs in Lowndes County, we are united in a sincere desire to build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.  Our Christian Emphasis program is an intentional effort to provide opportunities for people to be challenged and encouraged in their faith journey. Whether it be a small group, bible study or prayer, we seek to provide a menu of opportunities to build spiritual health. The Y was founded upon Jesus Christ’s life and principles. Christ is inclusive…and so are we.


OUR CHRISTIAN HERITAGE
In 1841, George Williams arrives in London to work as a fabric manufacturer at the firm of Hitchcock and Rogers. Having recently begun to grow in his relationship with God, he was concerned about the spiritual condition of the 140 workers at his company. According to his journal entry, he “found no means of spiritual interest of any kind.” He then quickly thought to himself, “What can I do for these young men?” And he began to pray. In time, others joined Williams in prayer and many men’s lives were changed. In 1844,12 men met in a small room and an organization was formed that would impact the world: The YMCA. Today, the Y seeks to preserve, nurture and advance our rich Christian heritage.


JOHN 17:21
“That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” – John 17:21.
Did you know that his verse is displayed on the walls of many of our YMCA’s across the country?  In this verse, Jesus was praying for Christians to love, really love one another. They would love in such a way that others around them would take note, and believe, because of the power of love. This love starts with you!
