Staff of Adamsville Baptist Church in Goldsboro, NC

A brief biographical summary is presented here for each staff member of the Adamsville Baptist Church. We love these godly people and we are thankful for their service in God's work.

Senior Pastor

Todd Wiggins came to Adamsville as Pastor in July 2007. Todd grew up in Forsyth, GA and attended First Baptist Barnesville, where he received Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. His undergraduate degree is in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Mercer University in Macon, GA. After college, Todd served on staff at Wesleyan Drive Baptist Church and Vineville North Baptist Church, both in Macon. Todd received his Master of Divinity degree from Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest in May 2006. In the fall of 2006, he began traveling and preaching for pulpit supply and revivals, when God led him to Adamsville.

Todd loves to camp, hunt, fish, golf, ski, and travel, anything to get him outdoors into the beautiful creation of our great God. His ministry purpose is to serve the local church by working within the body to equip, teach, and disciple the church to function as a New Testament church. Todd believes this is accomplished through the systematic exposition of the Bible. His life verse is 1 John 2:6, "The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked." Todd's paraphrase is, "Because you claim Christ, walk as He walked."
