Youth Ministry
Since 1986, Teen Mania Ministries has been challenging young people to live for something greater than themselves. The organization's commitment to see teenagers fully engage in the purposes of Christ remains steadfast today through its Global Expeditions mission trips, Extreme Camps and popular Acquire the Fire events, which have seen more than 3 million youth attend to date.
Teen Mania works hard to ensure spiritual growth doesn't end once students return home from an event. The organization has built an app to lead students through a discipleship process built on a gaming paradigm that allows users to gain access to additional features and content the more they engage with the app.
In addition to events and missions opportunities, Teen Mania offers educational programs, including its Honor Academy internship, a yearlong learning experience for high school graduates and young adults created to provide leadership training and spiritual development. Moreover, the organization's School of Worship provides a second-year program for those specifically interested in music.
Meanwhile, Teen Mania's Center for Creative Media caters to young professionals with a desire to express their faith through the mediums of television, graphic design, film and other forms of media. These students provide direct media relations support for Teen Mania while gaining invaluable on-the-job experience.
"We believe young people can change the world," says Teen Mania's founder, Ron Luce. "It runs deep in our DNA. ... We're doing everything we can to raise up a young army who will change the world for Christ."
To further support this vision, the ministry announced in February an expansion that will include a relocation to Dallas, Texas, and a name change to Teen Mania International to go into full effect by the end of the year.
"We are headed to Dallas with our eyes focused on the 1.5 billion teenagers whose lives and character will be shaped by culture or Christ," Luce says.
