HEATHER ARDOIN

Pastor Heather, along with her husband, is the founder & Senior Pastor of Faith Christian Worship Center in Eunice, Louisiana.

Pastor Heather is a graduate of In Christ International Bible College, and now has the privilege of teaching at different campuses. Pastor Heather is a dynamic and powerful preacher of the Word with signs and wonders that follow. She has a heart for the nations and for the church as a whole. She has traveled extensively throughout the United States and abroad preaching the Gospel and raising up an end time army of believers through leadership training, deliverance ministry, and meetings/conferences with a strong move of the Spirit and a powerful teaching of the word.

She is passionate about seeing Holy Spirit be allowed back into His LEADING role in the church, and is driven by her desire to see God show up powerfully in every service that she is a part of.

She firmly believes there is no substitution for the fire of the Holy Spirit! Pastor Heather’s testimony of God’s grace and mercy shown to her has allowed her to show extravagant love and compassion to those who feel hopeless, rejected, abused and forgotten.

When asked what she feels is her purpose in life, she responded with “To know Jesus, to make Him known, and to make ready His bride; to love every person God allows me to encounter with no agenda; to step into every dark place the Lord sends me - every place the enemy has been wreaking havoc - and bring light, peace and order while cutting off his grip on those he has been tormenting; to bring the fire of God back to the altars of the church. I will use this life to snatch every person I can from the grip of the enemy, to bring war on the kingdom of darkness and teach others to do the same!”

FAMILY LIFE

Pastor Heather has been happily married to the love of her life, Pastor Cardell Ardoin, for a long span of 25 years. Going against all odds, Pastor Heather and Pastor Cardell experienced lots of criticism and judgement due to being an interracial couple, in a time and place where this was completely unheard of.

Their marriage set a wonderful example, opened many hearts, and broke many racial barriers in their city. Even now, 25 years later, political and community leaders still call on them to bridge racial divides.

In 1997, they gave birth to their first-born daughter, Dailyn. And not long after, their second daughter, Gabrielle was born. They’ve raised their daughters to love, serve, and honor The Lord with all of their hearts.

Dailyn has grown to lead worship and become youth pastor, alongside her husband, Christopher Lewis. Gabrielle has a heart for the children of her city and of the world.

Together, the five of them have all taken on the same agenda and purpose:

“To know Him, to make Him known, and to love with no agenda.”
