Bill Adkins - Children's Pastor
Mark Dillon - Adventure Team Leader
Mark has a passion to see Bible truth IGNITE in the lives of the kids we minister to. His God -given ability to portray a HOST of CHARACTERS, help the kids see the reality of God's word come alive in "skits" performed on the Adventure Church stage. They not only hear the word but are able to see it applied in a "life situation". They can relate to the character and learn how they can use God's Word as their "ROADMAP" for life.
Bret Barnett - Adventure Team & PowerDrive Transportation
About 4 years ago Brett figured out what it means to be a part of the Adventure Church Team. He joined us as a lead character is one of our VBS FAMILY CRUSADES. He had such a GREAT time he hasn't stopped! "IT IS A BLAST" to be able to be involved in this ministry to kids! He enjoys talking with the kids, as he and his wife Whitney captain one of our church vans. "What's been going on" he says as the kids get on the van, Brett loves to listen to them and they know he really cares. Kids want to know we care. Team members like Brett speaks volumes!
