Mark Adams

Traditional Pastor

Read About Mark

Hey Everyone! I am Mark Adams. I was born and grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I graduated from The University of Alabama in 1993. I taught elementary school for five years. I began pastoring in 1998. I graduated from Memphis Theological Seminary in 2001. I feel a call to not only lead people to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, but also to help them to grow in that relationship! I also feel led to help people realize that serving Jesus is the most joyful thing that a person could do! I have a heart for missions. I have had the pleasure to minister to pastors in Guatemala for over twelve years. I also love to serve in local mission opportunities! I have served as the senior pastor at Albertville First Methodist since 2018. I have been happily married to Rosemary for 22 years. We have two children, Mark and Mary. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing golf, and Alabama football! I am in love with Jesus Christ, and would love to tell you about all that He has done for me!

OUR MISSION

Doing whatever it takes to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our desire is to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Matthew 22: 37-39

To this end, we are committed to fulfill the commandment in John 21 of lovingly feeding and tending to the flock of God and others, worshipping God in spirit, and in truth and watching over one another in love.

We take to heart the summons of Christ in Matthew 28: “As you are going, make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you,” even as Christ has promised to remain with us always, “even to the end of the age.”

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
