A. Unequivocally Yes!!! Especially, the Athens YMCA. The YMCA is open to all – however, the Athens YMCA promotes Christianity and Christian values in its programs and membership. The YMCA displays the 10 commandments, pictures of Jesus, signage with scripture and offers a weekly men’s bible study that is attended on average by 40 men each week and meets at 7:00 a.m. on Thursdays. The YMCA’s after school programs are also Christian based, staff finish all daily youth programs with 15 minutes of “Chapel” each day.
