TEEN CHALLENGE OF NEW MEXICO, INC.

The ministry of Teen Challenge of New Mexico began in July 1984. Its purpose is to give hope to teens and adults who struggle with life-controlling problems. Teen Challenge helps them become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive! Each phase of Teen Challenge has a vital part in achieving this objective.

God has a plan for each person to live a successful victorious life. We have a home for adolescent females, ages 13-17.

There is a Certified Advanced Personality Trainer with CLASSEMINARS, Inc. on staff to enhance students' Spiritual Life, Emotional Needs, Effective Learning Modes, Future Career Decisions, Personal Relationships, and Personality Strengths. God created individuals with traits that are different from anyone else. Students receive specific instructions for their specific needs. 
Does your teenager struggle with out of control behavior, anger, depression, addiction, sexual abuse, or other life controlling problems? There is HOPE! Teen Challenge of New Mexico is here to help your teen find purpose for their life at the Pine Meadows Female Live-in Center.

Pine Meadows Live-in Center will help your daughter with academics, friendships, mentoring, and spiritual training at a second chance for the victorious life she was intended to live.

The Transformation Retreat/Conference Center offers your group opportunity for a mission’s/work projects trips or a retreat center. It is located in the beautiful foothills of northern New Mexico in the middle of ranch land. 

Teen Challenge of New Mexico, Inc. does not receive national funding. In addition, we do not receive government assistance or funds (tax money).

We do not charge students for our services, but a sponsorship program has been developed for students in the live-in centers whereby family and friends can help provide the costs to care for each resident.

Call our office at 505-281-8467 to speak to someone who cares.

PINE MEADOWS FEMALE
ADOLESCENT CENTER

In 1987 a live-in center was opened for troubled adolescent girls. A cozy home, learning center, and chapel are nestled amongst the mountain pines on approximately 50 acres. This provides a beautiful venue of outdoor activities for girls ages 13-17. It provides privacy and security, but most importantly a quiet presence ensuring learning and peace as part of the girls' everyday lives. We want them to feel wanted and safe. 

An atmosphere of love is provided where they can learn and change. Whether their life spun out of control because of something horrible they had no control over, or because of their own choices, God desires to bring about change that will produce good. It is important they know God will help them grow into the loving productive person He created them to be. 

The Biblically Based Teen Challenge Personal Studies for New Christians and Group Studies are very effective to minister to students while giving clear instruction and guidance. Students learn how to make goals in order to bring about change, evaluate progress, and build upon each phase. Progress is monitored carefully and discussed with the student. Personal responsibility with God’s help is vital for a victorious life. They are taught the importance and power of each choice. The Staff gives individual attention, encouragement, and assistance as the student experiences the hope God gives them.

Before coming to Teen Challenge most students have fallen behind in school. They are given a Diagnostic Test and placed where they can succeed. Students participate in Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) through the Accredited Lighthouse Christian Academy. Students work towards earning their High School Diploma with enthusiasm! Graduates become a vital part of their communities. Many have become Pastors, Teachers, Nurses, Accountants, etc., as well as wonderful Wives, Husbands, Moms and Dads.
When the urge to sin is taken away,
the desire for drugs, alcohol and all manner
of deviant behavior is removed.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  ~ Romans 15:13
