Come Celebrate 50 Years of God's Faithfulness
In 1976, God laid it on Mark & Debbi Witt's hearts to reach teens in the Pittsburgh region with the Gospel. Fifty years later, we're still living out that same calling, watching lives changed, families strengthened, and students sent out to share the Good News.
This day is a celebration of what God has done through Teen Quest… and an invitation for you to be part of the story again.
Two Special Celebrations

Kids and families are invited to our Fishing Derby at the Teen Quest 4-acre lake, where young anglers can enjoy the excitement of catching fish, spending time outdoors, and making great memories with family and friends.
Whether your child is a first-time fisherman or already loves to fish, this event is designed especially for elementary-age kids.

Bring your fishing pole and bait. Catch and release — and get ready for a reel-ly great time!
You Might Remember Teen Quest Like This…
Teen Quest has looked a little different across the decades, but the heartbeat has never changed. As you read these, you may find your chapter of the story:
Different seasons. Different expressions. Same God. Same mission.
Celebration of the past... attuning to the future...
This is a chance to pause and honor what God has done through faithful obedience over five decades.
It's a chance to:
Celebrate God's faithfulness
From generation to generation
Honor Mark & Debbi Witt
And the many people who have served alongside them
Reconnect with people
Who were part of your Teen Quest years
Remember the moments
That shaped your faith and your life
Strengthen the future
As Teen Quest continues reaching teens for Christ
If Teen Quest played any role in your story—big or small—this day is for you.

The Beginning: A Small Seed and a Big God
Teen Quest began in August of 1976 with a burden to see teens respond to the Gospel. After Mark & Debbi shared with their youth group what God was calling them to do, the students quietly took up a collective donation... $40.
That small offering became seed money. And God used it to grow something far beyond what anyone could have imagined.
What started in the Greater Pittsburgh Area has expanded over the decades through evangelism, discipleship, camping, ministry teams, and missions... reaching students across the U.S. and around the world.
What to Expect on September 26
Here's what the day will include:
The Big Tent Gathering
Celebrate together with worship, laughter, and shared memories
Special Guests & Speakers
Hear from voices connected to Teen Quest through the years
Tour the Ranch
See what's new and revisit places that shaped so many lives
Time Capsule
Bring meaningful pictures or items to contribute to what's ahead in our time capsule to be opened in 10 years
Legacy Wall of Photos
A place to remember, reconnect, and celebrate the story together
