Hello! I’m John Adams, the teaching pastor here at LifeBridge. You’ll hear from me most Sundays, which is a bit of a divine irony considering I’m naturally a quiet guy who isn't fond of public speaking. God clearly has a sense of humor, but I truly love the calling he’s placed on my life.
My wife, Savanna, and I have been married since 2010 and life is a constant adventure. She is incredibly talented, wise, and driven. You'll often find her playing the piano on Sunday morning and leading the women's ministry team. Our two kids keep us moving. Shiloh is a social butterfly and soccer enthusiast (Go Messi!). Elora (Ellie), lights up every room with her song, dance, and love for all creatures small and soft. And of course, our family adores our active and goofy dog, Ace.
When I’m not at the church, I’m usually knee-deep in a home renovation project (some necessary, some "Savanna-inspired"). I’m also a dedicated fan of Chicago sports - which means I’ve learned a lot about patience and resilience over the years. I will also never turn down a road trip if Texas brisket is the destination.
Though my background started in physical therapy, my heart is in shepherding. I earned my Masters in Theological Studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and helped plant LifeBridge in 2014. I dearly love the people of LifeBridge and Burlington to whom God has graciously called me to minister. It’s my great privilege and joy to shepherd God’s people in the glorious gospel of Jesus.
