Our Pastor and Family
Adam has been a lifelong disciple of Jesus, spending his life growing in his love for Christ and a deep passion for God’s Word. For more than a decade, he led a young adults ministry at Calvary Chapel Hammonton, where he discovered a calling and love for teaching the Bible and helping people grow in their faith. Through those years, God continued to shape his heart for discipleship, leadership, and shepherding others.
Adam was trained and encouraged by faithful pastors who invested deeply in his life. He was ordained and mentored by Jeff Brower at Wellspring Church in Mays Landing, where he served as an elder and member of the teaching team. He was also discipled by Marty Berglund, who spent many years encouraging Adam to step into God’s calling to plant and pastor a church.
Over time, God began placing a burden on Adam’s heart for the Buena, Folsom, and Newtonville communities. Through prayer, counsel, and a growing conviction from the Lord, it became clear that God was calling Adam and his family to help establish a Bible-centered church in this area—a church committed to reaching people with the hope of Jesus, making disciples, and helping believers grow in their faith.
Alongside Adam is his wife and family, who share a deep love for Jesus and a desire to see people encounter the life-changing power of the gospel. Together, they are committed to building a church that feels like family—a place where people can belong, be known, grow in God’s Word, and be equipped to live on mission for Christ.
Our prayer is simple: that Jesus would be exalted, lives would be transformed by His grace, and a new generation of disciples would be raised up throughout Buena, Folsom, Newtonville, and beyond.
