Doctrine is key to understanding the Christian life, yet so many Christians do not understand major Bible truths. God, salvation, grace, the Bible itself: these are fundamental truths, pillars of our faith. If we wish to “grow in grace,” we must also “grow in knowledge.” This is a vital part of the Great Commission.
Building on a Solid Foundation is designed to be a resource for young Christians just learning about the Bible. Each chapter focuses on a different Bible doctrine, provides Scripture to support it, and explains the teachings in a simple-to-understand method. This is a great tool for Sunday school, secondary education and one-on-one discipleship. It also provides an easy way to explain doctrine to new church members. This is a great resource and Bible study tool that should be in every believer’s library.
ADAM JOPLIN was born and raised in a Christian home. At the age of five, he accepted Christ as his Saviour. He felt God’s call to preach at age fourteen in his home in San Antonio, Texas. Adam immediately began preparing for the ministry.
In 2007, Adam graduated from Trinity Baptist Bible College with a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies and in 2012, he received his Master’s degree. This is where he met his beautiful wife, Mickey. They were married shortly after graduation in 2007 and have three wonderful children, Felicity, Levi and Addison. They continue to serve God together to this day.
Both Adam and Mickey were trained under the leadership of Dr. Bob Smith while in Bible college. They also had the privilege to know and serve with men such as Dr. DeWayne Nichols (Adam’s home pastor), Dr. Danny Bezet (Mickey’s home pastor) and Dr. Todd Lasseter.
Adam and Mickey have been in full-time ministry for fifteen years. After pastoring in Louisiana for five years, they returned to Trinity, where he served as Dean of Students at Trinity Baptist Bible College for three years. Today, they are currently serving at Riverside Baptist Church in Hutchinson, Kansas with Pastor Richard Haley.
