Adam Malcolm

Adam first visited Covenant Life as a non-believer in early 1998, when he and his wife, Linda, attended a marriage retreat in hopes of repairing a marriage that was “not healthy.”  The couple found “love and acceptance,” Adam recalls, and began to attend the Sunday meeting.

Linda had recently become a Christian, and Adam came to Christ while attending the church’s Alpha class that same summer.

Adam was born October 17, 1962, in DeLand, Fla., and grew up in Columbia, Md.  He has an undergraduate degree in Management and 20 years of experience in information technology, including senior management.

In 2002, pastor Kenneth Maresco began to help Adam evaluate whether he was called to pastoral ministry.  “Over the next year and a half,” Adam says, “I was placed in positions of serving—greeting team, care group, Christian Service Brigade—where God appeared to be bringing fruit in my leadership.”

After graduating from the Pastors College, Adam joined the pastoral team in June 2005. His current responsibilities include overseeing 15 care groups mostly composed of parents with at least one child in high school to college-aged children.

Adam and Linda, who were married October 6, 1984, moved to Gaithersburg from Frederick in 2004. They have four children, two of which are adult members at Covenant Life, and enjoy the outdoors, amusement parks, golf and rooting for our favorite sporting teams together.

Adam says he is most passionate about “seeing God reconcile, transform and build strong marriages and families through the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
