The vision of adore is accomplished through our mission of Evangelization, Discipleship and Empowerment. Through our various, outreaches, programs, and ministry services is the heart to evangelize, disciple and empower people to live the life God has for them.
Reaching People, Impacting Cities, Transforming the World.
Adore is a missionary organization that calls all people to a worship of God with their entire lives. We believe that when God’s name is glorified louder than any other name, He begins to transform the world, one heart, and one city at a time. As missionaries we answer this call daily, by responding to the needs of the particular city that we serve in. Whether it be through empowerment of leaders, development of small faith communities or large corporate worship gatherings, ADORE is stirring the New Evangelization in cities throughout the world.
// The Mission of Reaching People:
Every human person has a longing for love and for truth. Through relational outreach, ADORE invites all people into a tangible encounter with Jesus Christ, who satisfies this universal longing.
// The Mission of Impacting Cities:
In the face of cultural turmoil, economic crisis, and an ever-growing human need, God is calling His people to persevere in serving Him within their own city. Through small faith communities and large city-wide worship events ADORE provides opportunity for authentic transformation that has a rippling effect throughout that city.
// The Mission of Transforming the World:
This world is in need. From terrorism to hunger, child prostitution to no access to the Gospel, our world is broken. ADORE acknowledges that God himself is “making all things new”, and that we, through our humble offering, play a small role in His plan of transformation.

// HISTORY
Praying together for over a year, a vision birthed from God came to the forefront. In 2004, under the guidance of Bishop Sam Jacobs and the vision of Fr. Mark Toups and Paul George, Adore began as an outreach to lead people into a relationship with God. The first initiative of Adore Ministries was to bring the relevancy of the Gospel to those who were disenchanted, fallen away, un-evangelized, marginalized or desiring to know more. Through teaching, sacramental worship, and community nights, Adore began ministering to groups of people in homes across the city of Houma, teaching them what they were created for – relationship with God.
As the Lord began to impact and transform lives, Adore’s outreach began to grow and expand. Six years later, Adore’s outreach extends to cities across the country. However, Adore continues to stay true to its mission of reaching people, and transforming lives in all that we do.
