Introducing Our New Senior Pastor, Adam Painter
*Cue the shouts of hallelujah*
Adam Painter is officially our new Senior Pastor, and we couldn’t be happier. After his sermon on January 5th, the congregation overwhelmingly voted him in—and it’s easy to see why. Adam’s passion for Jesus and his down-to-earth style make him a perfect fit for our church family. (Seriously, his sermon game is strong!)
This decision has been a journey for us all. The selection process took time, careful consideration, and many, many meetings. We understand that change can feel uncertain. Many of us had hopes and ideas for how this would go, and it’s okay if the process didn’t meet every expectation. What we can all celebrate is the dedication and prayerful effort of the Pastor Search Committee (PSC), who worked so hard to find the right person for this role. Adam is here because they felt God’s clear leading, and we’re confident that he’s the right fit for us. Let’s come together as a church family to support and encourage him as he steps into this new chapter!

Meet the Painter Family
Adam’s life centers around faith and family. Adam and his wife, Shannan, enjoy exercising together as well as fitting in a weekly date night to keep the fire in their marriage strong. They have four kids: Tyler (21), Joren (18), Brody (12), and Selah (9). The oldest, Tyler, is planning to get married in the middle of February up in Missoula, Montana where he and his fiancée will be living. Adam was asked by Tyler to officiate the wedding, which he is humbly honored and excited to do. Joren is a senior in high school and is finishing up his diploma through Liberty University's online program. The Lord has laid a desire on Joren's heart to potentially follow the path of becoming a youth pastor in the future. Brody and Selah are currently in 6th and 4th grade. They both will be active in the Upward basketball program at Bulverde Baptist Church the next two months. Adam is coaching his daughter's team for the third consecutive season.
A Few Fun Facts
Adam’s ministry has been shaped by influential Christian teachers like John Piper, Tim Keller, and Matt Chandler. In his free time, he enjoys sports like basketball and golf—and yes, he’s always up for a good game of pickleball. If you’re looking for a pastor who can preach a powerful sermon and sink a three-pointer, you’ve found him.
What’s Next?
Adam's aspirations for FBC Blanco include being a church body that is hungry for the Word of God, and not just to understand it, but to live it out. His hope is that our walks with Jesus Christ would never be lukewarm, simply going through the motions, but that we would passionately follow in Christ's footsteps, being doers of the Word (James 1:22). Adam trusts that the goals ahead for FBC Blanco are all achievable knowing God can "do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20). Adam confidently expects that God is not going to merely bear a little fruit in the future in and around Blanco, but much, much fruit when we as believers cling to Jesus as the True Vine (John 15:5)! We’re thrilled to see how God will work through Adam and his family as they become part of life here at FBC Blanco. Let’s welcome them with open hearts and prayers as they step into this new chapter with us.
