At HigherTrek, we are dedicated to helping young men own their faith and follow Jesus for a lifetime. Since 2003, we have successfully offered discipleship programs, helping hundreds of young men across the United States. In 2021 we felt a calling to share our curriculum and what we’ve learned through digital resources, so more young men around the world can be reached.
Our History
In 2003 Chuck Wenger noticed that the sons of friends he'd made in business and ministry were of similar age and asking him similar questions about their faith.
He saw an opportunity.
Chuck invited them to his home in Fort Lauderdale and called them the Band of Brothers in Christ. He modeled Band of Brothers in Christ around much of what he learned during the nine years he spent working with George Wilson and Billy Graham.
Together, the young men used God's Word to address the challenges they faced as they transitioned into adulthood, and they left changed by God's word to change the World.
Chuck shared with his pastor that he thought it was a success. But God wasn't done. His pastor handed him a list of names to pray about investing in the following year.
For the next ten years, Chuck helped small groups of young men learn how to own their faith so they could walk with Jesus for a lifetime. “I am led to invest in the lives of young men who will impact the world for Jesus Christ,” He'd say.
The Lord brought Chuck home in December of 2015. Under his watch, 81 young men from nine countries and 20 states were discipled.
In 2019, Band of Brothers in Christ became HigherTrek. New name, same vision and mission, and today Chuck's signature statement is as true as ever, “the best is yet to come.”
