What To Expect
Spiritual Growth
Throughout our program, students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of Christ-centered activities. We believe the Word of God is the wellspring of life, so we have a thoroughly developed Bible-based curriculum that will help you live a life free from addiction. Through sermons, Bible studies, prayer, and spiritual retreats, we strive to create an environment that promotes spiritual growth.
Work Therapy
During our work therapy program, students can develop a healthy work ethic, can learn job training skills, and can apply lessons learned in course work. In a supervised environment, students can work and find purpose, addressing some of the issues that might prevent them from maintaining employment after they graduate the program.
Student Fellowship
During your program, you will be involved with other like-minded students who are also searching for freedom from addiction. During your classes and work therapy, you will be able to discuss Biblical and spiritual growth and become more involved with individuals growing in faith.

"Before Adult & Teen Challenge, my life was a chaotic spiral of searching for purpose through drugs, gangs, and false identities. Divorce, an absent father, and insecurity fueled my destructive path. But in Teen Challenge, a powerful experience brought me to my knees, shattered my false characteristics, and filled me with peace. Now, I'm surrendering, finding my true value, and building a new life."
"Before Adult & Teen Challenge, my life was filled with darkness, depression, and addiction. I pushed away loved ones and lost sight of my purpose. But since entering the program, I have found healing, sobriety, and a renewed faith in God. Today, I am whole, filled with hope, and my relationships are stronger than ever."
"My life was a total disaster. I struggled with addiction and didn't know my true identity. I sought happiness through drugs and external changes. My addiction to methamphetamines and the need to please others deeply affected me. But after Adult & Teen Challenge, I found healing, forgiveness, and a purpose in God. My future plans involve ministry and guiding others towards their true identity in Christ. Teen Challenge changed my life."
Kansas Adult & Teen Challenge
Adult and Teen Challenge of Kansas (ATCKS) in Wichita is the newest location of the 200 plus residential Adult & Teen Challenge centers in the nation. ATCKS is affiliated with Adult & Teen Challenge of Oklahoma which was started in 1988 when Bill and Jeannie Everitt, along with their four children, came to the region and established a men’s facility in southwest Oklahoma. Bill faithfully served as the organization’s President until his passing in 2007. In 2008, Wayne Gray accepted the position of President where he has continued to lead the mission and vision of Adult & Teen Challenge of Oklahoma and Kansas.
Transformation – Not Treatment
The biggest difference between Adult & Teen Challenge and a traditional recovery center is our focus on Jesus. We do not simply focus on the symptoms of addiction, but we work our way to the root of the issue. Our programs depend on the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s word to provide our students with a guiding light. Treatment is important, but transformation is key.
Long-Term Residential Programs
Most of our programs last an average of 12-18 months. This timeframe provides ample opportunity for adults and teens to confront their destructive choices, their self-sabotaging behavior, and their unhealthy views. It then gives them a safe place to establish a new “normal”— assured of the love of God and under the guidance of Biblical principles. During this time, the student will be able to develop routines and behaviors that will lead to good choices and an abundant life.
Discipleship & Evangelism
Through our Bible-based curriculum, students learn how to apply God’s Word to their lives. An onsite teacher will lead the student through various topics surrounding addiction and life-controlling issues. They also learn to recognize the Holy Spirit’s work in their lives, invite God to help them overcome their life-controlling problems, and become more like Christ.
