Following Christ into the margins to serve the loneliest generation.
OUR CORE VALUES
We are SPIRIT DRIVEN,
ANCHORED CATHOLIC
missionary disciples
who put PEOPLE FIRST
with AUTHENTIC ACCOMPANIMENT
and experience WHOLEHEARTED UNITY
in Christ.
Our missionaries always joke about the "secret sauce" of Adore- something we cannot quite put words to, but a major factor of our missionary life that sets us apart. Our secret sauce is a culmination of our core values. It is ultimately the experience of Jesus in our midst, the taste of eternity that comes with surrendering our lives to mission and coming alive as a community.
ANCHORED CATHOLIC
We are committed to simple, sacramental living as a response to our need for the Healer. We believe this is found within His Church, which holds he antidote for all that is broken in our time. By remaining faithful to Church Teaching, while introducing a progressive and challenging discussion, we endeavor to anchor people in the truth and beauty of Catholicism.
SPIRIT DRIVEN
We are therefore bold in our endeavors. We live radically and are not satisfied with the status quo. We actively return to the Spirit in our discernment. This docility to the Spirit determines and directs our missional activity.
PEOPLE FIRST
Adore Ministries believes that every missional directive is primarily an encounter with Christ present in a person. If we are so focused on a program, event, or procedure, that we miss the actual human beings present and their experience, we are missing the point.
AUTHENTIC ACCOMPANIMENT
We believe that it is through a mutual accompaniment of each other, marked by radical authenticity, vulnerability, and transparency, that we primarily come to know and be known, love and be loved, serve and be served by Christ.
WHOLEHEARTED UNITY
We are an interwoven family in the radical pursuit of holiness. When we are together, we come alive. We cherish each other. We are for each other. We are as ready to laugh as we are to accompany one another in our sorrows. When the other Core Values are active, we experience this Wholehearted Unity; this bond is deep and sets us apart from most other organizations.
