  • "The Adult & Teen Challenge Program has provided Marshall County an asset like no other in the past.  It has been instrumental in my Office's ability to confront the devastating consequences addictions have on our community.  It brings life back to those who are not "criminals" and returns them to the people they once were, honest hardworking members of our neighborhoods.  Chances that were previously unavailable to the citizens of Marshall County."
    Paul BauerStates Attorney
  • "Adult & Teen Challenge provides employment as well as a fantastic opportunity for their clients to build a new life. Abuse of drugs and alcohol are such an impediment for employment, and we need solutions. Adult & Teen Challenge provides some of those solutions for our community."
    Jeff GriffinFormer Peoria, IL Chamber of Commerce CEO & President
  • “I have met and observed the men of Adult & Teen Challenge through touring their facilities, attending multiple fundraisers, and seeing them perform in various church venues. I can endorse the work of Adult & Teen Challenge and believe they will be an asset to any community."
    Jeff GriffinFormer Peoria, IL Chamber of Commerce CEO & President
  • "Adult & Teen Challenge is a tremendous asset to our community. Their Christ centered approach to rehabilitating those with drug and alcohol dependencies are critical to the well-being of our communities. I can't speak highly enough about the quality and integrity of this organization."
