To Call
Serving Wisconsin, Illinois, and the Midwest Region Since 1983
We know facing life-controlling problems such as drug and alcohol
addictions is incredibly difficult. That’s why our proven residential
rehabilitation program helps our students become established in society through holistic recovery, mentoring, education, and job training.
Men’s Center of Hope
The Great Lakes Men’s Rehab Center of Hope is considered one of the top Adult & Teen Challenge facilities in the United States.
The property consists of the Don Wilkerson Memorial Chapel, the Center of Hope Men’s Dorm, the White House Administrative Building, an eight-unit staff housing building, and a full-service vehicle facility.
Why Adult and Teen Challenge?
60 Years of Recovery
Adult & Teen Challenge was founded in 1958 by Pastor David Wilkerson who began ministering to drug addicts and gang members.
How Long for Recovery?
We commit to working with individuals in our program for a full year, not a few weeks or months.
Affordable Care
Enrollment in our addiction and alcoholism centers for adults is affordable because of generous gifts from the community.
Testimonials
What Our Community Says
“To change people who have addictions like this, you cannot just do it by walking them through a program. You ultimately have to change what is in their heart to change what other actions they do. This is a program that has shown great success.”
– Scott Walker, Governor – State of Wisconsin
“During this last year the Lord has helped me immensely. I am rebuilding my life in Christ. I graduated last month and will be entering Brooklyn Teen Challenge School of Ministry in October. Thank you for supporting Teen Challenge Wisconsin! Your support helps those struggling with addiction find freedom.”
– Alex, Adult & Teen Challenge Alumni
“When all is lost, there’s still one thing left, and that’s Teen Challenge…that’s why I’ve been committed to the program. I don’t think all hope is lost in life as long as people are willing to get together and do what it takes to do the right thing…”
– Hon. Vincent Bobot, Judge – Milwaukee County Municipal Court

Founder – Teen Challenge
David Wilkerson
“When I founded Teen Challenge 40 years ago, I had no idea that God would multiply this movement around the world! From the beginning, my vision has been to introduce troubled young people to Jesus Christ, and then get them back on the streets witnessing for the Lord. Today, God is raising up a mighty army of Spirit-filled soul-winners and evangelists – out of former drug addicts and gang members! But we must have help to continue. The problems we see today are much worse than what I encountered in New York in 1958. I pray you will stand with us in prayer and support.”
