Bishop Adam Lopez
In February of 2007, Bishop Adam G. Lopez, Jr. celebrated forty
years as pastor of the Union City Apostolic Church. Little did
Bishop Lopez know when he became pastor at the young age of 27
that he would lead the local assembly for the next forty years.
During those forty years, Bishop Lopez has led the local assembly
through two church expansions projects, he pioneered the first
Christian school, Apostolic Faith Academy (now Union City Christian
Academy) within the Apostolic Assembly, and introduced the first
preaching conference, Endtime Restoration Conference, within the
organization. Bishop Lopez also spearheaded the first women’s
conference, Renewing My Spirit, and the first youth conference,
Next Dimension Conference, sponsored by a local church. Throughout
his years as pastor, Bishop Lopez has taught the local assembly
to trust in Christ, to walk by faith, and to believe that He is
able by leading the local church in worship and praise regardless
of the circumstances. Truly we can emphatically state that Christ
has honored the Bishop’s faithful walk.
