Brian Adams - Senior Pastor, D.Min.

Brian accepted the Lord in 1985. He never tires of sharing his powerful testimony of being delivered from an addictive lifestyle of drugs and alcohol. After returning to his hometown years later for a visit with his family, he visited The ROCK.  God placed a desire in his heart to relocate to Jackson where he has sat under his present Pastor, David Chisholm. While submitted under the apostleship of Pastor David, he has been used in many different areas of ministry. His unique style of preaching is accompanied with a tremendous anointing for winning the lost, restoring the broken hearted and healing those who are sick and oppressed by the devil.  Pastor Brian will demonstrate in both word and deed that the Kingdom of God is indeed at hand.  You will laugh, you will cry, but most of all, you will see the hand of God reach through this man to His people.  Brian feels a global call to take the message of deliverance and healing around the world and enjoys equipping the saints to “go into all the world and preach the gospel.” He now serves as Senior Pastor at The ROCK in Jackson.
