Will you help us save a woman’s life?

Incarceration rates among women have climbed dramatically since 1980. Time Magazine reports an 800 percent increase, due, in part, to rising rates of substance abuse among women.

Our Women’s Crisis Center offers an immediate, safe place for women in crisis, where they can experience spiritual, mental and emotional transformation through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Louisville Women’s Crisis Center, 1151 E. Broadway

Teen Challenge ministry begins with basic confrontational evangelism -- outreach to people in crisis (corrections ministry, help-line, drop-in counseling, street ministry). The next step is crisis intervention. People are provided a place to stay long enough to meet the immediate crisis, to receive a clear witness of the gospel, and to evaluate the need for long-term discipleship training. Our Women’s Crisis Center, located in a beautifully renovated historic Louisville home, meets that need with love, safety, and discipleship. Crisis housing for women across Kentucky is in critically short supply. Our center will be open to all Kentucky residents on a space-available basis.

We go beyond the immediate crisis with help and hope!

During a woman’s stay with us, we will evaluate the need for long-term placement in a regional Teen Challenge residential setting, or another appropriate long-term facility. If long-term care is not needed, our staff and volunteers will continue to provide provisional support through intensive, on-site Bible study, discipleship, and directional guidance.

The Kentucky Teen Challenge mission is to evangelize people who have life-controlling problems, and to initiate the discipleship process to the point where the student can function as a Christian in society, applying spiritually motivated Biblical principles to relationships in the family, local church, chosen vocation, and in the community.

Join us in helping these women. Prayerfully consider financial support. It’s easy. Just visit our giving opportunities page.

Teen Challenge Lifeline  - help for Kentucky’s small towns

A ministry team in Paducah is ready to launch a new Teen Challenge Lifeline, which is a Christ-centered, nonresidential substance abuse recovery program. Anyone with life-controlling problems is eligible. Those needing and wanting residential recovery can receive it through Teen Challenge's nationwide network of centers, which include recovery programs for men, women, and teens. Those unable to commit to, or not needing residential recovery can sign up for an 8-week program led by local, trained volunteers, followed by participation in a church-based recovery Bible study.

Lifeline brings the Teen Challenge ministry to rural areas and small towns. This is a new ministry concept for Teen Challenge.

Living Free - Christ-centered small group ministry for the local church

Anyone can have a life-controlling problem. Now there’s a small-group ministry to help everyone find a solution.

Turning Point Living Free is a very simple ministry concept, not unlike a cell group or home fellowship in many ways, yet it provides a model and curriculum for relationally focused discipleship in a small group. Living Free does not replace a home group or congregational celebration, but provides a unique small group setting for trust, affirmation, mutuality, and accountability. Teen Challenge of Kentucky can help your church begin a Turning Point ministry.

Working together to restore lives!

Lifeline and Turning Point together offer a strong combination for the answer to Kentucky’s small-town drug crisis. With these two programs, Teen Challenge of Kentucky is responding to Kentucky’s needs for Christ-centered, substance abuse intervention.
