associate pastor
adam gordon
Adam@sunrise.ky
Adam, originally from the United States, first felt called to full-time ministry when he was in college at North Greenville University. He went on a 2 month mission-trip to Peru and that led to him serving 8 years in Lima, Peru as a missionary. While serving as a missionary he married, Paola and they are blessed with two children – Keilah and Josiah. In Peru, Adam and Paola spent many years as youth leaders and taught classes to seminary students before being called to lead a campus of the church they served.
Adam’s passion is to see others understand the love of God and help others to use their gifts for building God’s kingdom. His primary areas of responsibility are children & youth ministries and administration (as well as general pastoral care).
Adam enjoys pretty much anything outdoors. He collects houseplants and likes to pretend he is a capable carpenter. One of his favorite things to do is to sit down and talk about what God is doing in people’s lives over a cup of coffee - (good coffee).

Paola gordon
Paola@sunrise.ky
Paola was born in Lima, Peru, but has also spent significant periods of time in both Venezuela & the United States. During her time in the U.S. she felt a call to ministry and attended Mt. Zion School of Ministry (now called Summit International School of Ministry) where she discovered her love for teaching and sharing God’s word.
Eventually she moved back to Peru where she married her husband, Adam. Together they served their church in Lima faithfully for about 8 years along with their two children.
During that time, Paola gained a wealth of experience in leading Youth Ministry, leading worship, teaching Seminary classes, and working alongside Adam to lead the opening of a Church campus.
Paola's main responsibilities at Sunrise include Administrative Tasks, directing the Worship Team, Counseling Women in the Church, as well as being the Founder & Director of Flourish Women's Ministry.
She enjoys writing, singing, a good chat with friends and playing with her kids and their crazy family dog
