Teen Challenge
of Memphis is a
12-15 month residential program for men 18 and older. We
emphasize the importance of developing and maintaining a
personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ
empowered by the Holy Spirit, is the key to “the proven
cure for life-controlling problems”. Through our intense
educational program we help our students learn a new way
of thinking, responding and living.
Our program
consists of 5 stages:
-
Orientation & Assessment:
2 weeks
This phase of the
program is designed to help new students become
acclimated to the program. A staff member will
provide important information regarding program
guidelines and procedures and familiarize the
student with the history of Teen Challenge.
-
Induction: 5 months
This phase of the
program consist of 14 weeks of group studies
addressing behavioral issues and addiction from a
biblical perspective. The men are also required to
complete 2 contracts of Personalize Studies for New
Christian. These contracts are designed to address
specific issues related to the student.
-
Advance

program consist of “Insight Groups”. These groups
help the student discover how life controlling
problems develop and present biblical principles to
help them identify and address unhealthy
situations..
-

Work Experience:
Our work experience program is designed teach the men
proper work ethic and how to apply biblical principles
while at work. We realize men are not able to sit in a
classroom every day for 12-15 months and the importance
of men feeling useful and productive. Through our work
experience program, men are able to utilize and expand
on skills they already have, or for some gain skills to
better prepare themselves for re-entry into society.
Through our work experience program we offer a number of
services to the general
public. These services
include painting, (Interior & Exterior) yard work, light
construction and minor repairs.
Church Services:
We would be more than happy to schedule Teen Challenge to
come to your church or organization. Your congregation
will hear powerful songs of deliverance and testimonies
of men whom lives have been transformed by the gospel.
