What to Expect?
Through classes, individual study, mentoring sessions, work ethics training, and involvement in the Christian community, our structured program offers an extended time period to bring the student slowly out of wrong and drug-impacted thinking into an awareness of a purpose for their life and a new way of thinking and living. Society has no place for abusing drugs or alcohol; addiction is replaced by self-love, peace, happiness, purpose, and excitement for the future. Life-changing experiences happen daily at our mountain top location.
HOPE LIVES HERE, FREEDOM IS FOUND HERE, CHANGED LIVES LEAVE HERE.

Statements of Faith
Adult Teen Challenge is a Bible-based program with teachings that focus on the life-changing power brought about by believing and surrendering to a loving God through his son Jesus Christ. Most of our students are unchurched and have little or no knowledge of the Bible. With that in mind, our ministry concentrated particularly on grace, forgiveness and living a Godly life. We purposely shy away from the controversial theological issues that have divided God’s church, choosing rather to focus on the simple truths that are foundational to living the Christian life. These truths are as follows:
- The Bible is the inspired and the only infallible and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15; 1 Peter 2:2).
- There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Mark 12:29; John 5:17-30).
- The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ is shown in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule (Isaiah 7:14; Hebrews 7:26; Acts 1:9-11; I Corinthians 15:3-4).
- The only means of salvation is through repentance and faith in Christ (Luke 24:47; Romans 8:16, 10:13-15; Titus 2:11, 3:5-7; Ephesians 2:13-14).
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by who’s indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life (John 14:15-26; John 16:5-16; Ephesians 1:13-14).
- There is a resurrection of the saved and the lost; the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:34-48; Revelation 19:20, 20:11-15, 21:8).
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:1-4).
