Crossville Mission Bible Training Center (CMBTC), a division of Mission Teens, Inc., is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian organization founded in 1969 by Rev. James D. Bracken to address the need for meaningful ministry to troubled youth and adults. With a legacy spanning over 50 years and 20 centers across the United States, CMBTC offers a Christ-centered, 8-10 month residential discipleship-training program specializing in overcoming alcohol, drug, and emotional problems through faith in Jesus Christ. Grounded in the scripture 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33), the program provides practical, encouraging, and faith-based solutions for life-controlling issues, fostering love, acceptance, belonging, and spiritual growth in an inspiring environment. Open to adults 18 years and older who are ready for change, it serves as a refuge for the hopeless and desperate, helping them find freedom from addiction and a new life with Jesus. The structured curriculum includes four progressive stages—Probationary, Trainee, Resident, and Trainee Counselor—featuring 5.5 hours of daily Bible study, devotionals, worship, counseling, chores, and community activities, all free of charge and without narcotic or psychotropic medications. Led by a dedicated staff of former addicts who serve without pay, drawing from personal transformations, CMBTC's mission is to witness unto Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, evangelizing, educating, and discipling individuals spiritually, physically, vocationally, and psychologically, ultimately proclaiming Jesus as the answer to everyone's needs and leading over 25,000 lives toward sobriety and purpose.
