First and foremost, its unabashed Christian focus. Teen Challenge decisively rejects the reigning medical model of addictive behaviour; its residents fashion a life plan, not a treatment plan." 

“people are here because they habitually made bad decisions. By teaching them to walk in honesty and integrity, we help them learn how to make the right decisions.”

Teen residents attend the program's alternative school
- learn skills such as money management 
- work at chores in the kitchen and laundry
- learn to minister to others through community service
- attend chapel and pray daily, learning “biblical principles” for virtuous living.

"the very thing that underlies Teen Challenge’s success — its religious focus — creates problems in raising funds. Govemment agencies, corporations and foundations provide little of Minneapolis Teen Challenge’s budget, 83 percent of which comes from donations. (Churches are the program’s main funders.)"
