ABOUT THE CENTRE

Our Story & Mission

“The Christian Family Centre exists to glorify Jesus Christ by supporting the physical, spiritual, and social wellness of our communities.”

Founded in 1988 by Orville and Ruth Merillat, The Centre was envisioned as a wholesome place where families could enjoy recreation, connection, and spiritual growth.

Rooted in Christian values, we serve Adrian, Lenawee County, and beyond by offering world-class fitness facilities, family programs, and events — all centered on Christ’s love.

Today, we continue to strengthen lives through community, service, and excellence, welcoming people of all backgrounds to grow mind, body, and spirit.
