Spirit, Mind & BodySpiritual Development
Growing in Your Relationship With God
Proverbs 22:6 — “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Through our mission, we are committed to helping you build a healthy spirit, and the Y offers a variety of ways for you to grow in your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. From Bible study groups and faith-based gatherings to prayer resources and devotional content, there is a place for you here. We welcome all who are seeking community, connection and spiritual growth.
Spiritual Programs
Matthew 7:7 — “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.” The Y offers several opportunities to gather, study and grow in faith alongside others in the Fox Cities community. Whether you are looking for a women’s Bible group, a weekly Bible study or a monthly gathering centered on meaningful conversation and connection, we have a place for you. All programs are open and welcoming to everyone.
Let Us Pray For You
Colossians 1:9 — “We have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.” Do you have a prayer need? Our staff will faithfully pray for your need at our weekly prayer time. You can fill out an online prayer request card, or stop by any of our YMCA of the Fox Cities locations to fill out a prayer card and place it in a Prayer Box. Let us place you in our prayers.
