Ronnie Adams


Location: New York City, N.Y

Hometown: Dallas, Texas

Commissioned: 1995

Adams serves in New York City, working alongside Greater Restoration Baptist Church in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn and Metro Baptist Church in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, one of New York’s most transitional neighborhoods.

The churches reach out to the community in a variety of ways, such as distribution of toiletry kits and clothes to the homeless as well as serving low-income families through a food pantry, health education, discounted counseling services, English classes and after school programs. Adams helps facilitate these ministries and connects Fellowship partner churches with service opportunities.

Adams also partners with several housing communities that serve the HIV/AIDS community in New York. Each week he travels to three communities, leading Bible studies, building relationships and providing pastoral care.

“My passion and what I love the most is providing pastoral care to that community,”

Adams said. “It’s been a difficult journey, but an incredible journey. I’ve ushered many people into the kingdom in their last days.”
