Staff Profile – Adam Gough: May 21, 2021

Adam Gough is truly a Renaissance Man. He operates, manages, and maintains the technical tools that keep our programs and worship services humming. In his role as Congregational Life Assistant, he assists senior staff, freeing them from tasks such as chasing down copyrights to music (critical but time-consuming), doing production for livestream events, and making our virtual choir recordings come alive in a rich and seamless way. For those who wish to join a covenant group, he finds one with openings. He manages the new member process as point person before folks join as members. He also curates Realm. And he is a certified Operations Specialist who can handle most IT problems that pop up in the office. 

Adam is an accomplished bass trombone player, a composer of musical scores (as well as songs for an album he hopes to produce), creator of sound effects for games and videos, and photographer of toys he captures in arresting poses that he shares with fans on Instagram.  

Reverend Eileen says Adam’s work with the congregation is ministry through technology. Using his skills to deepen the healing and richness that music and images provide, Adam helps contributes to the pastoral care of the congregation. Responding to cries for support on technical issues, he is pleased to help and is often hailed for his patience, understanding, and ability to make people comfortable. As he often says, “I’m here to help. Call on me. It’s my job.”
