Faith and prayer have been at the heart of the YMCA's mission since its founding in 1844. The Rowan-Cabarrus YMCA is dedicated to loving, serving, and caring for every person who walks through our door in a Christ-like manner.
Through multiple church partnerships, resident chaplains, Bible studies and prayer groups, CREATION Health classes and more, we offer countless opportunities for our members and the community at-large to strengthen their spirits at the Y. Please contact your local branch for more information about what is available in your community.
