ABOUT PARISH/ SCHOOL/ ORGANIZATION

We envision lives, and indeed churches, renewed through people worshiping God with their whole lives through knowing, loving and serving God in the ordinary and extraordinary. We pursue this vision by sending missionaries to the underserved communities in the church to work with their junior high and high school youth, and developing relationships and trust with their families and the greater parish community. Our aim is to remain steadfast in our presence and show that life in Christ is worth living. At their best, these parishes are realizations of the whole of Adore’s mission.

Our goal for our missionaries is to create a sustainable lifestyle and to give them the freedom to serve with their gifts and passion. We strive to build an environment and culture that allows people to begin their journey in ministry or continue in it sustainably for the long term. We support our missionaries so that they can thrive mentally, physically, spiritually, and financially whether single, married, just out of college, discerning religious life, or even if you have a house full of kids.
