What Is Lansing Teen Challenge All About ?
We are a non-profit, 501(c)(3), Christian educational organization dedicated to helping men and women 18 years of age and older overcome life-controlling problems. Our world is full of broken lives that are a result of alcoholism, drugs, pornography, gambling, abuse, and other addictions. Our answer for all of these problems is the Lord Jesus Christ!

Teen Challenge is not a drug rehabilitation center. Our goal and desire is to see lives changed through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:17- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
The Teen Challenge program is based on four principles:
- There is hope for a person with life-controlling problems.
- Sin, not drugs, alcohol. etc., is the root problem.
- The only cure for sin and its symptoms is Jesus Christ.
- Through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, one is able to overcome the temptation of sin.
How Does it Help People?
Evangelism - We take the Gospel, the "Good News", to people on the streets, and wherever hurting people can be found.
Counseling - Using Bible-based, Christ-centered counseling, our staff and workers offer hope to hurting people who come to our center or call us on the phone.
Life-controlling problems - We hold classes, seminars, and workshops to educate students on the dangers of life and to present to everyone a positive and fulfilling alternative lifestyle with Jesus Christ.
Live-In Discipleship - People with life-controlling problems are provided a safe place to stay while they receive the help and training they need. This live-in discipleship training is designed to equip those who graduate to live free from life-controlling problems. Those who successfully complete the program and continue to apply the principles learned will be positive, contributing members of society.
