Meet Pastor Adam! Pastor Adam became our pastor in July of 2010, and he has faithfully served our church ever since. He’s fun-loving, easy-going, and down-to-earth. We love him lots! While Pastor Adam obviously enjoys preaching and connecting with the adults of our church, he has a soft spot for the children and believes in the importance of investing in the next generation. Pastor Adam also enjoys playing basketball and volleyball — and he’s quite good at both! He has a big heart and a big vision for our church (see our church vision post: //gracebiblenf.com/church-vision/).

Jed is our jack-of-all trades assistant who was officially hired in summer of 2023.  He just graduated from BJU with a degree in counseling, and we are thrilled to have him on the team!  Jed is down-to-earth and full of joy, and you can usually find him playing his guitar or singing a special in church.  He has a big heart for young people and has been working to build our youth program.

Meet Bill! Bill was chosen as an elder in April and has thrown himself whole-heartily into the job since then. He is retired, and enjoys going to auctions in his spare time. Bill is creative and resourceful — he’s always coming up with new ideas for things! He helps design the New Freedom Parade float every year, creates VBS props and decorations, and helps to coordinate the Christmas decorating at church. Bill has a big heart, and would literally give you the shirt off of his back. He is incredibly generous and thoughtful of others. We also love that he is not shy about sharing what God is teaching him. Just ask him sometime! 

Meet Rick, another of our awesome elders! Rick is fun-loving, and can usually be seen smiling, laughing, and joking around. He has a great sense of humor and loves to tease. He counts and records the offerings each week. Rick enjoys helping others and was one of the first to wield his chainsaw to help with disaster relief in Puerto Rico (incidentally, he was also the first to cut his leg with the chainsaw — he’s a little accident-prone ). We love Rick and appreciate all he does! 

Meet David! Although David is not technically an elder or deacon, he serves in a BIG way as a “behind-the-scenes” leader at Grace Bible! David is our treasurer, and it’s his job to keep track of spending, expenses and the budget. Quite a responsibility! David has a military background, and he has traveled all over the world. He even met his wife overseas — and they make a lovely couple! Besides helping with the bookkeeping, David has blessed our church by leading the choir for special events, grilling hot dogs at the New Freedom Fest, helping out with various outreaches and being an encouragement to the other leadership guys. We appreciate David and all he does!
