Mission Statement
Men's Challenge of the Smokies' Mission is to provide men with an effective and comprehensive Christian, faith-based solution to life-controlling drug and alcohol problems in order to become productive members of society. By applying Biblical principles, Teen Challenge endeavors to help people become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive.
Discipleship in God's Word
The program consists of Group studies, Personal studies, Bible study, counseling, chapel and work. New life skills and coping skills are taught to give men “new tools” in their tool box to handle the stress and problems of life. At Men's Challenge of the Smokies, we believe that the success of a changed life is due to the “Jesus Factor”. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Teen Challenge International
Our Founder and History
Teen Challenge was launched in 1958 from a small office in Staten Island, New York. Pastor David Wilkerson conducted street rallies on "gang turf," meetings through which many gang leaders and members were converted. Through this program, many street-hardened young men and women came to Christ, allowing God's Spirit to transform their lives. In 1958, many people thought David Wilkerson was crazy to try taking the gospel to drug-addicted teens in New York City. Today, few of those critics are willing to question the success of the Teen Challenge ministry. Teen Challenge has grown to include over 200 programs and numerous evangelism outreach centers in the United States and 1400 centers in 122 other countries. All Teen Challenge centers operate autonomously.
