Although Reverend Wilkerson was the founder of Teen Challenge, its rapid growth and worldwide expansion demanded its eventual jurisdiction to be turned over to the Assemblies of God. Therefore, we no longer have information on the individual Teen Challenge centers. You may call the national Teen Challenge office at (417) 581-2181 or visit them online at www.teenchallengeusa.com.

In 1995, we had to discontinue our volunteer workers' program for a number of reasons—mainly because of the high cost of housing and the need for fully trained workers.

Since 1997, we have trained workers—graduates from Mt. Zion School of Ministry—to provide full-time help for every area of the ministry. All of our beds are completely filled. In fact, we need more beds just to provide housing for the new interns who pledge a full year to our various ministries.

• There is one true God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19).
• In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal, future return to the earth in power and glory to rule for a thousand years (John 1:1; Matthew 1:18; Matthew 28:5-6; Revelation 20:4).
• In the Blessed Hope, the soon return of Christ to receive His bride at His coming (Titus 2:13, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18).
• In the fall and sinfulness of man and that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the blood of Christ (John 14:6, Romans 10:9–10, 1 John 1:9).
• Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to personal salvation (Titus 3:5, 2 Corinthians 5:17).
• In Divine Healing of the human body provided through the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross in answer to believing prayer (Isaiah 53:5–6, 1 Peter 2:24).

• In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Galatians 5:16-25).
• In the resurrection and final judgment of both the saved and the lost, the first to everlasting life and the second to everlasting damnation (Revelation 20:11-15).
