Pat Adkins started attending Emmanuel Church at an early age. (As he puts it - Class of 1977) He's participated in groups from Jr. High through College at ERC. Pat is also a worship leader in the choir and meets with a group of men to study the bible and strengthen relationships with one another. Pat always says, "We are filled with God's love to be spilled onto others!" Helping to lead the basketball ministry is a passion for Pat. "We are not a YMCA", says Pat. We accept the players just as they are with hang ups, Tattoos and attitudes. By investing God's Love and Compassion to the players we plant seeds and after time it produces real change in their lives. Pat's been married since 1991 to his wife Kim who also sings in the choir and joins the coffee break ministry. They have two children Kaylee and Bo and a dog in progress named Dixie. |
