Pastor Adam Bueltel
Senior Pastor

Adam was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, before moving with his family to Naples, Florida, at age 13. The Lord graciously saved him at a young age and, during high school, gave him a desire for pastoral ministry. Adam met his wife, Alyssa, while in college, and they were married in 2012. They are grateful for the gift of their four children—one son and three daughters.

Prior to coming to Eastridge Baptist Church, Adam served for 12 years as an Associate Pastor at Mission Road Bible Church in Kansas City. He holds degrees from Maranatha Baptist University (B.A., 2012), The Expositors Seminary (M.Div., 2016), and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Th.M., Ph.D., 2022).

Pastor Richard Lemmon

Upon graduation from seminary, Richard was called as associate pastor of Eastridge Baptist Church.

Richard is married to his best friend, Becca, and they have been blessed with 1 son and 2 daughters.
