“I am honored to serve as Executive Director of Adult & Teen Challenge Appalachian Region. I know of no other ministry more dedicated to making a difference in hurting lives. During the thirty-four years I have served in this ministry, I have seen many lives find lasting hope through Christ.

At the Training Center, we believe God greatly values every person. Our caring, trained, and committed staff endeavor to convey this message of hope to lost young men, women, girls and boys. Many have found a new lifestyle on our campus, and studies show that a majority of our graduates today remain productive members in society.

As an honor accredited ministry, we take our calling seriously. We value integrity; therefore, we demand the best of our staff. After one visit on our campus, you will agree that the Adult & Teen Challenge Appalachian Region is a ministry getting results, restoring broken lives.”

– Jim Nickels, Executive Director
