At Adult & Teen Challenge we want to disciple students and train them to be leaders. The world needs Christians who are willing to lead in their spheres of influence. Whether you’re working in ministry or in another area, leadership traits and strengths will enhance your ability to share your gifts and talents.
Leadership and training are important because as Christians we need to be continually learning and growing in our Christian journey. We must continually challenge ourselves to grow lest we become stagnant and unfruitful. We want to instill these values in our students – to be lifelong learners.
