Todd Adams is the executive director for Central Oklahoma Adult & Teen Challenge in Stillwater, Oklahoma. His wife, Angie, is the executive administrator and general manager of their two thrift stores. They have been married for 10 years and have two beautiful daughters. Todd and Angie are both graduates of Adult & Teen Challenge Florida. Todd has been with Teen Challenge for over 20 years, holding just about every position, and Angie has been with the organization for 11 years, mainly in administration and thrift management. They both felt called to the ministry of Teen Challenge after graduating, as they wanted to serve and lead others to a relationship with Jesus Christ. In their spare time, Todd loves anything sports-related and golfing whenever he gets the chance, while Angie loves to read and cook for the 40 men in their program. They hope their students will encounter Jesus in a life-changing way, be set free from drugs and alcohol, become productive members of society, and one day open a women’s program in or near the Stillwater area. Both truly love what they do, and their motto is to be a light in their community and to everyone they come in contact with.

I have had the privilege of serving with Adult & Teen Challenge for over 28 years—four years in Arkansas and, since 2002, in Oklahoma. My journey with ATC began after being impacted through visits to the Dallas and Midland, Texas centers. I felt a deep calling, one that grew stronger as I got older, eventually leading me to serve full-time.

Over the years, I’ve taken on many roles including teacher, counselor, intake coordinator, court liaison, assistant director, and program director. I’ve helped build GED programs, trained staff, and led audit preparations. I also have experience in outreach, recovery ministry, hospital work, and pastoring.

As a former student at the Florida ATC, I experienced God’s transformative power firsthand. I helped in the office and with the GED program, and it deepened my calling.

I love meeting people, learning new skills, and finding strength through challenges. My hope for every student is that they grow in God, prepare for real life, and know they are loved. My vision is to expand outreach, especially in prisons, and to equip others to carry the torch. I believe in overcoming hardships—and I don’t give up.

In 1996, he entered the Sonrise program as a young man struggling with addiction. After completing the program, Loren answered God’s call on his life by enrolling in the New Orleans School of Urban Missions. Upon graduating, he received his ordination through the Assemblies of God.

Loren spent several years serving in pastoral ministry before returning to Sonrise Adult & Teen Challenge as Program Manager. Recently, his journey came full circle when he was entrusted with the opportunity to lead the very program that once helped transform his life.

Loren is passionate about seeing God take the “worst of the worst” and transform them into world changers through discipleship.

“I am called to make disciples out of those the world has given up on. My main focus at Sonrise is creating a quality classroom and spiritual environment where students’ lives can be transformed. My hope is that every man who enters our program will be confronted with the good news of Jesus Christ and surrender to His loving hands.”

Loren has been married for 27 years and is the proud father of six beautiful children.
