Adullam is about the transformation of individual lives, local neighborhoods, and ultimately the world.

What do we mean by transformation? We believe God exists as the primary protagonist in the unfolding story of creation. Transformation is simply what describes the journey of changing our roles in the story, going from antagonists-driven mostly by personal gain- toward joining a collaborative mission of redemption as God’s fellow protagonists. In doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly together in community we believe that what’s been broken in our lives, our communities…our world, has a chance at redemption.

While we are unashamedly a community of Jesus followers we believe that transformation isn’t about going to church. Actually, in most of our experiences simply “doing church” has often been a major distraction for people, both believer and sojourner, who want to relate to God and live out a life as a follower of Jesus.

When Jesus spoke of eternal life we believe it was an invitation to not only dream of a better world to come, but an invitation to start leaning into and living out of that new life in the here and now. And in a culture filled with individualism, consumerism, and materialism we recognize that this ain’t no small task.

So, what if your story takes on a bigger role in this redemption narrative than you realize?

What if a people peculiar enough to live in inclusive community can dynamically counteract the forces of individualism?

What if we gave away our time and money to the broken and poor of our city rather than going with the consumeristic flow of spending it on ourselves?

What if listening to God’s voice together so that we can partner with rather than work against took priority over our own self-centered ambitions? We are a network of communities tied together by the “What If?” And if you think these are tensions worth engaging in, you’re more than welcome to travel with us…
