A Free, Residential Discipleship Program in Center Ridge
Victory MBTC operates under Mission Teens, Inc., a non-profit, non-denominational organization founded in 1969 by Reverend James D. Bracken that has since served more than 25,000 people across its network of 20 centers in the United States. The Center Ridge location provides a structured residential environment built around Christian discipleship, with a daily schedule that includes five and a half hours of Bible study, equivalent to approximately one year of Bible school. The center does not charge residents for its services and receives no government or denominational funding, operating entirely through private donations from individuals and churches. Almost all staff are program graduates who serve as missionaries without salary.
A Four-Phase Discipleship Training Program
The program at Victory MBTC follows the same structured four-phase model used across all Mission Teens centers, with each phase lasting two to four months and privileges increasing as responsibilities grow. The first phase is a two-month induction period with a focus on following house rules and beginning to seek the Lord. The middle two phases introduce household responsibilities and limit contact to immediate family, pastoral counsel, and legal counsel only. The final phase places residents in counselor training, where they counsel one person daily and report to senior staff. Upon completing the full program, graduates may be offered an additional 10 to 12 month staff training commitment. Each center is overseen by an Assistant Executive Director and an Overseer who manages daily program operations.
