Welcome to Church Of Adullam
ABOUT
Church of Adullam (COA) is a Christian ministry that prioritizes spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples, and exemplifying Christ's love. Under the auspices of our Senior Pastor, Dr. Lamar and Lady Aisha Staples, our church endeavors to provide an atmosphere of love, safety, and acceptance, where all are encouraged to learn about our faith in Jesus Christ. C.O.A. was founded on the premise that faith can help us overcome any obstacles that life may bring. Through teaching the Bible, our goal is to encourage and uplift our community so that they may find joy and fulfillment in their lives. We strive to not only teach and spread the Gospel of Jesus, but to reflect Him in our daily works.
BACKGROUND
COA draws its name and mission from biblical narrative found in 1 Samuel 22:1, a story of refuge, courage and communal solidarity. In this cave, David gathers troubled, broken and marginalized followers (men in debt, discontent, and distressed) who become unlikely yet steadfast under God's providence. COA positions itself as a modern echo of chapters 22 and 23 of 1 Samuel, a place where the vulnerable find shelter, the overlooked are welcomed, and the weak are emboldened to trust in God’s purposes even in the midst fear and persecution. Rooted in scripture, Adullam emphasizes authentic community, prayerful discernment, generous service, and courageous faith that is care about the welfare of others, while fostering accountability and mercy within a diverse body of believers.
OUR PASTOR'S HOPE FOR YOU
Pastor Lamar envisions Adullam as a thriving community shaped by those biblical themes; a fellowship where members discover their unique callings, support one another through trials, and grow in faithfulness to God’s leading. He prays his ministry mirrors David’s reliance on God, cultivating courage to pursue justice, relief for the marginalized, and care for the whole person (spiritual, relational, and practical). Ultimately, Pastor desires a church where members become a resilient, gospel-centered family that shares burdens, multiplies hope, and acts as a safe harbor for those seeking reconciliation, purpose, and the transforming power of God in daily life.
