Adam Gorman is the Brick Church's first Associate Pastor for Youth and Family Ministry. Gorman was raised in Westfield, N.J., where he was a member of The Presbyterian Church in Westfield. He was heavily involved in the youth group, and served as a Deacon and on the Nominating Committee to select the new Youth Minister for the Westfield church.
In high school, he attended The Morristown Beard School and later studied Marketing at Messiah College in Grantham, Pa. He had not yet considered ministry as a career option but it was something he loved to be a part of.
After college, he worked for AIG at its Wall Street headquarters and continued to volunteer for the youth group at his home church and at a youth-run soup kitchen. These volunteer activities showed him that he could combine his passions with his career options. Gorman then interned at The Presbyterian Church in Westfield as a Youth Minister Intern.
He became a nonprofit fundraiser for several years at the United Way in Harrisburg, Pa. before eventually enrolling at Princeton Theological Seminary. In 2011, he received a dual degree, a Master of Divinity and a Master of Arts in Youth Ministry. While studying at Princeton, he served as a Student Minister with the youth of Nassau Presbyterian Church, was a chaplain at JFK Medical Center, and worked one-on-one with the Rev. Kathryn Henry at The Peapack Reformed Church. He was asked by the Rev. Janice Ammon, minister of the chapel at Princeton Seminary, to help develop a Pastoral Care program and form a team for an ongoing ministry to the Seminary. He had the honor of being chosen by his professors to speak during the Princeton Theological Seminary Graduation in 2011. He also led the PTS Ultimate Frisbee Team! He has a passion for youth ministry and involving youth as integral members of the missional church.
