“Last year, nearly 500 people joined together on Good Friday in fellowship and prayer at the Central YMCA,” said Tim Hilk. “For a Christian organization like the Y, nothing is more powerful.”

The Y mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
