  3. We believe in Christian values that are put into practice every day by our staff. We seek to emphasize the four core values of the YMCA: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We are more than a fitness facility; we care about each person and want to encourage every individual, regardless of age, sex, or race, to be the very best in all they attempt to do.

  5. We are expanding to meet your needs! Community support of our YMCA continues to be strong. Because of a successful 1.6 million dollar capital campaign in 1997, we built a new full-sized gymnasium with bleachers, a dedicated gymnastic facility, an additional fitness room, and a second multi-purpose area. We want to continue our commitment to excellence and invite you to join with us as we grow.
