OUR ONE-YEAR RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM

BC Teen Challenge is a one-year residential program in which drug addicts, alcoholics, gang members, victims of abuse, dysfunctional families, or any other life-controlling problem can begin a new and changed life.

Lives are transformed as they are touched by the love and power of God that is stronger than any addiction that has held them in bondage. The overall objective of BC Teen Challenge is to initiate a total environment approach and change of values in the lives of the students in the program. BC Teen Challenge helps the total person in spiritual, emotional, physical, social and educational perspectives.

Spiritually: BC Teen Challenge deals with the students’ problems as symptoms that relate to deeper problems and conflicts. Instead of escaping their problems they find, through a new life in Jesus Christ, the changing power that gives them the ability to overcome problems and live a more effective life.

Emotionally: The rebuilding of abused minds and emotions is of key importance. The study of the Bible enhances mental growth by serving as the foundation for the restructuring of broken-down thought patterns, creating new, more stable ways of life. Personal and group counseling with experienced staff members help individuals resolve questions and conflicts that they are facing.

Physically: BC Teen Challenge cares for physical needs on a long-term basis. Assistance is given for shelter, food, clothing and recreation. Other needs such as a drug-free environment are provided.

Socially: Through the benefits of a group living situation, students are encouraged to work out relationship problems to successfully relate to family and peers once they complete the program. Such interaction promotes a strong character of moral fiber, right attitudes and desires.

Educationally: BC Teen Challenge has a curriculum specifically designed to teach students more about God and who they are meant to be.

The 12 month program is divided into two stages.

Phase 1 includes group classes, character development, relational guidance, social skills and recreation. To emphasize the educational aspects of the program, BC Teen Challenge refers to its residents as “students.”

Phase 2 concentrates on academic and vocational advancement. The student is tutored in developing positive attitudes, trustworthiness, concern for others and a strong sense of responsibility.
