Bible and Physical Education:  Adam Parrott
I was born and raised in Chattanooga,TN. I was raised in a Christian home and my mother led me to the Lord at the age of nine. I accepted the call into the ministry while I was in the 11th grade in high school. After high school, I attended and graduated from Covington Theological Seminary with my degree in Christian Education. Soon after my college graduation in 2000, I married my wife of eight years, Lisa Parrott. The Lord blessed us in 2005 with a beautiful daughter named Krystin Ruth. The Lord has allowed myself to serve in three different Christian Schools and two different churches over a 13 year period. I have had the great privilege of serving as a high school Bible teacher, basketball coach, athletic director and a youth pastor. Praise God for His will in my life and His grace.
