TNT stands for Teens Need Truth. In today's youth culture we so see many young people believing lies about their self-esteem, image and value. Our goal is to help students realize their value and encourage them to replace the lies with truth; that they are amazing people, and have the potential and ability to be and do great things.
Mission: To serve the local school districts in anyway that can help students achieve the best educational experience possible.
Purpose: To provide positive adult role models on campus, and give students the help, and encouragement they may need through difficult and trying situations.
"...and pray for us too, that God may open a door for our message..." Colossians 4:3
