What is a Christian Movement?

YMCA staff are more than just operations of programs and keeping the lights on.​

​YMCA staff are agents in God’s mission to heal Central Oklahoma.​
​
YMCA staff carry out the Christian principles of Respect, Love, Peace, Grace, Empowerment, Caring, Faith, Hope, Honesty, Responsibility, Justice, and Servanthood in their respective roles within the YMCA organization.​

​The YMCA existed before us and will exist long after we are gone because the Y is not a building. It is not a gym. It is not a pool. It is not you or me.​

​The YMCA is a movement, and it is a movement rooted in healing, reconciliation, and redemption.
