Pastor Theologian - Adam Copenhaver
On Episode 17 of the More of Us podcast, Adam Copenhaver (Lead Pastor of Grace Church of Mabton) talks about his experience assimilating into a region with a unique demographic, the importance of living life with theological vision, and what a thriving pastor is.
Dr. Adam Copenhaver has experience both as a Bible scholar and as a local church pastor. He studied first at Grace College and Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, IN, earning a BA in Biblical studies (2001) and an MDiv in Pastoral Ministries (2003). After serving for a few years as a local church pastor, Adam pursued further theological training. He studied first at Westminster Theological Seminary, where he earned a ThM degree in Old Testament (2009). His studies at Westminster focused especially on hermeneutics (Biblical interpretation) and he did research on how the book of Psalms is used in the New Testament. Adam then shifted to New Testament and completed a PhD at the University of Aberdeen, Highland Theological College (2012).
Adam is currently the pastor of the Mabton Grace Brethren Church in Mabton, Washington, where his ministry focuses especially on the teaching and preaching of God's Word. As a pastor, he focuses especially on God's saving work in Christ and strives to make Christ the center of the church's ministry and practice.
His publications include Reconstructing the Background of Paul's Rhetoric in the Letter to the Colossians (T&T Clark, 2018); What Is Christian Marriage: Notes for Developing a Biblical Theology of Marriage and Sexual Ethics (2016); and Translating Colossians Clause-by-Clause: An Exegetical Guide (2016). He is currently writing a commentary on Colossians and Philemon for Kregel Publishers.
The More of Us podcast highlights pastors within the Charis Fellowship as they give their perspectives on life, pastoral ministry, and walking with Jesus. We trust as you hear More of Us, you'll see Christ among us.
