About the JCC
The Jewish Community Center of St. Louis (the J) is a multigenerational gathering place, offering a variety of programs and services for the St. Louis Jewish Community and the community at large. We welcome people of all backgrounds regardless of race, ethnicity or religious preference. The JCC provides educational, cultural, social, Jewish identity-building and recreational programming throughout it's campuses in Creve Coeur, Chesterfield and at Camp Sabra, located in the Lake of the Ozarks.
Throughout our history, the J has been the central meeting place of the Jewish Community. It's the one place where Jewish families, regardless of affiliation, can feel comfortable and welcome. We have evolved through the years to meet the changing needs of our members, our Jewish community and St. Louis.

I worked out at the J for over 14 years using the same elliptical machine over and over. Then a friend of mine with cancer told me to get healthy and live every day to the fullest. I started working with one of the JCC’s certified personal trainers and started strength training and running and I’ve lost 20 pounds and have never felt better.
