Adam Pereira


Adam was born in Valparaiso, Indiana but lived the majority of his life in Florida. He was raised in a pastor's home and was saved at an early age. In junior high, Adam sensed a calling to the pastorate and pursued that calling. His degrees include a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry (2003), a Master of Divinity (2006), and a Doctor of Ministry in Biblical Theology (2020). The focus of his ministry is that others may know the wondrous grace of God in all its fullness and for all of life. This passion is summed up by his life verse, "To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ" (Ephesians 3:8). Adam married his wife Rachel in 2005 and together they 4 great children.
