Meet Our Staff
DR. Adam Denny
PASTOR
Pastor Adam joined the North Run Baptist family in the spring of 2019 having served churches in Georgia, Kansas, and North Carolina. Adam grew up in and around Charlotte, NC where he actively attended church until his teenage years. It wasn’t until he was 22 that the Lord would radically save him while attending an in-patient addiction rehab program in Boone, NC. The Lord immediately soon called Adam to ministry and gave him a deep desire to preach God’s Word and proclaim the gospel.
Pastor Adam is a graduate of Tennessee Temple University and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (D.Min.; M.A.C.S.). Pastor Adam is currently pursuing Master’s in Church History at Liberty University.
Adam and his wife, Stephanie, married in 2012 and have three children: Abram, Rosalie, and Silas who they cherish.
Pastor Adam has a strong passion for biblical theology, expository preaching, discipleship, addictions ministries, and pursuing justice for the unborn.
In his free time, he enjoys reading, exercising, and cheering on the Tar Heels, Braves, and Liberty Flames.
