What kind of classes do we take here at Teen Challenge?

Our classes are broken up into two groups.

Lower Growth Curriculum:

The Lower Growth Class uses the group studies for new Christians as their core studies. These courses do not build off each other, but are independent of each other lasting 1 to 2 weeks per study. Therefore, a new student can come into our program at any point of the lower growth rotation and be able to pick up right away.

A lower growth student will undergo some intense memory verse studies. The students will memorize 25 verses from the Bible as well as all the names of the books of the Bible (66 in all) and their meanings. Overall the whole Lower Growth process will take about 4 months to complete.

The following are the 14 classes that they will study:

• How Can I Know I am a Christian
• A Quick Look at the Bible
• Attitudes
• Temptations
• Successful Christian Living
• Growing through Failure
• Christian Practices
• Obediences to God
• Obediences to Man
• Anger and Personal Rights
• How to Study the Bible
• Love and Accepting Myself
• Personal Relationship with Others
• Spiritual Power and the Supernatural

Upper Growth Curriculum:

The Upper Growth Class uses a curriculum that varies from one teaching period to another. a teaching period is usually three months long. Some of the class being used (Non-Inclusive) are as follows.

• Cleansing Stream
• Victory Over Sin, Satan and Evil Thoughts
• Bible Doctrines

All Upper Growth curriculum are selected by the Executive Director and the Education Director to provide a well-rounded learning experience for all the students. After all classes are finished in Upper Growth, the students will have finished 9 months of intensive study.
