Strength in Community
YMCA Volunteer Chaplains
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea." Psalm 46:1-2
The OrthoIndy Foundation Y is pleased to announce that it will begin offering onsite volunteer chaplaincy services starting in July. Look for more information posted in the center regarding days and hours of availability.
Two of the volunteer chaplains currently serve on the OrthoIndy Foundation YMCA Center Advisory Board and the third is a pastor of One Fellowship Church which meets at the Y on Sundays. Each has a passion for people and will be available at the Y at different times during the week to love, care and serve members and guests of the YMCA. Do you have an idea to strengthen our community at the Y? Would it be helpful to share a burden with another person? Are you in need of prayer for yourself or your loved ones? Meet our volunteers below and look for them in the weeks ahead.
