The Mission Statement of YMCA Thrissur

The Young Men’s Christian Association of Thrissur seeks to unite young men, women, boys and girls for the development of their physical, social, intellectual and spiritual manhood/womanhood, to inspire them with the ideals of Jesus Christ and to lead them to His discipleship and co-operate with the church and other organizations working for the welfare of India and to stimulate the formation of movements for the highest advancement of humanity.

The Paris Basis

"The Young Men's Christian Associations seek to unite those young people who, regarding Jesus Christ as their God and Saviour, according to the Holy Scriptures, desire to be his disciples in their faith and in their life, and to associate their efforts for the extension of his Kingdom amongst young people."

The Paris Basis is the foundation statement of the world YMCA movement and was adopted by the delegates of the First World Conference in Paris in 1855, and reaffirmed by the 6th World Council of YMCAs in 1973.
