Lancaster Teen Challenge opened its doors in 1996 as Rehrersburg Teen Challenge. We have recently relocated to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania as a referral center and community development liaison. In recognition of our commitment to Central PA and the surrounding region we formally changed our name to Lancaster Teen Challenge in 2008.

Our Christ-centered program provides referrals for residential treatment to adult men and women & adolescent boys and girls with life controlling problems, from all ethnic, socioeconomic and religious backgrounds. We believe that there is hope for recovery for every individual who is bound with life controlling problems, such as an addiction to drugs or alcohol, by establishing a relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe there is hope even when all other methods have failed.

We are here to help! Whether you are a concerned family member, pastor, lay-person, or a prospective client you will find information here that will help you or someone you know find freedom from life controlling problems. Jesus Christ can help!  Here at Lancaster Teen Challenge we care for those struggling with hurts, habits, and hang-ups.

*Lancaster Teen Challenge is also available to partner with you by way of church ministry, Stay Sharp school presentations, outreach events, banquet events & business breakfasts, prison ministry, storefront activities and carwashes-just to name a few!
