Det gamle KFUM hus i Randers ligger i Søren Møllersgade. Ikke langt herfra, på den anden side af Vestervold findes det tilsvarende KFUK hus.

KFUM bygningen er ikke længere i brug som KFUM/K sammlingssted, men huser idag et Akut Botilbud, Hjørnestenen, under Kirkens Korshær.

Kirkens Korshær er en privat, social hjælpeorganisation tilknyttet Den danske Folkekirke. Kirkens Korshær arbejder blandt samfundets mest marginaliserede og udstødte grupper.

At denne bygning oprindeligt har været tilholdssted for KFUM kan der dog ikke være tvivl om. Hen over bygningens facade står med store bogstaver "Kristeligt Forbund for Unge Mænd" som er den fulde udgave af forkortelsen KFUM.

KFUM er den danske afdeling af den internationale organisation YMCA.

På bygningens facade er også skrevet årstallet 1909 hvor bygningen blev opført.

The old YMCA house in Randers are located at Søren Møllers Gade. Not far from here, on the other side of Vestervold is the corresponding YWCA house.

YMCA building is no longer in use as an YMCA meeting place. Today it is used as an acute temporary housing, "Hjørnestenen" (The Cornerstone), operated by Kirkens Korshær.

Kirkens Korshær is a private, social organization affiliated with the Danish National Church. Kirkens Korshær works among society's most marginalized and excluded groups.

The fact that this building was originally a YMCA building may, however, be of no doubt. Across the building's façade with large letters is sculptured "Kristeligt Forbund for Unge Mænd" translating to "Christian Confederation of Young Men" which is the full version of the acronym KFUM.

KFUM is the Danish branch of the international organization YMCA.

On the facade of the building is also written the year 1909 which is the year the building was constructed.
