The YMCA mission and purpose are deeply grounded in the idea that by putting Christian principles into practice, we can develop more connected communities.

Since our start in 1886 as a refuge where young men could build Christian character, to the YMCA of today, the YMCA of Greater Houston has made an intentional effort to elevate Christian principles in the communities we serve. Our cause is to help people to develop their spirit, mind, and body while strengthening the bonds that tie us together.

While our YMCA is ever evolving with the needs of our community, our mission and desire to elevate Christian principles has remained constant.

We invite you to engage with us in prayer and celebration at our 39th Annual Prayer Breakfast. Individual ticket and sponsorship opportunities available. For questions about sponsorships, tickets or payments please contact Jenna.Malaret@ymcahouston.org.

The 2025 Prayer Breakfast will include a panel discussion on how to incorporate faith in your company or organization and impact community through your work. Meet our panel!
