Ascend Ministries Group (AMG) was established in 2023 by the Board of Pennsylvania Adult & Teen Challenge (PAATC) to provide leadership and support for a growing family of clinical and faith-based addiction treatment and recovery programs. AMG’s purpose is to empower each organization to focus on its strengths—while benefiting from centralized leadership and shared operational services.
In 2024, AMG introduced the Naaman Network, an integrated network of providers of clinical and recovery programs—bringing unity, visibility, and shared values across the system.
Pennsylvania Adult & Teen Challenge (PAATC) is a Christ-centered, long-term residential recovery program dedicated to helping men and women overcome substance use disorders. For over six decades, PAATC has provided a path to lasting freedom by addressing the root causes of addiction and offering spiritual renewal through Jesus Christ.
