Larry Adams

OUR PASSION:  We simply seek to know, love and follow Jesus wherever He may lead in life, marriage, family and ministry and to serve His Church however we can for His glory.
 
OUR ROLE:  In our role as Directors of Church Strengthening for our denominational movement called Converge PacWest, we serve local churches in a variety of capacities.  At Hillside, Larry is serving as the Transitional Pastor, providing pastoral guidance until God brings the next Lead Pastor for the church.

OUR FAMILY:   We have been married for 45 years and have been blessed with three great children, a son and two daughters, all married and serving the Lord.  We have seven wonderful grand children, ages 3 through 16.

OUR BACKGROUND:  Larry attended Central Connecticut State University, Cascade Bible Institute and Multnomah University, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Education and a Master’s Degree in Ministry.  Karla attended Bethel University in Minnesota and graduated from San Jose State University with a BA in Home Economics and Music. For over 35 years, we served at Golden Hills Community Church in Brentwood, CA where Larry was the founding Senior Pastor and Karla served as a worship leader, choir director and office receptionist. For the last seven years we have served as the Director of Church Strengthening for Converge PacWest.

Hillside is a place where your whole family can enjoy the morning. We have safe and caring nursery and childcare along with a Sunday morning children's ministry we call the KidZone. We also know that kids can be a little nervous their first time in a new setting so children are welcome in the auditorium and parents are allowed to observe with their children in the KidZone. The nursery for infants and small children streams the service so that you don't have to miss it in case your little one has a difficult morning (we all have them, right?).
