Friends

After God, Adoramus owes it's success principally to the encouragement of its audiences and it's Friends, those who have spread the word to their own friends and associates, and offered their generous financial support.

Adoramus is a registered charity, and as such, we offset a large percentage of our operating costs from donations and sponsorships from within and outside our own ranks. That support - your support - is particularly critical. Ticket income typically covers only about a third of a concert's total cost. Yet despite this, we operate without debt, thanks to strong financial management and, most of all, to the generous support of our donors.

We can offer you a number of ways to become involved. By supporting Adoramus, you can help us plan for the future without taking inappropriate financial risks. As a Friend, you'll also enable us to take on exciting new ministry opportunities, projects that, while perhaps not financially rewarding, will allow us to communicate the Christian faith and continue to serve the church and wider community with music of the highest standard. Your support will make a difference.
