Zach Adamson named UM’s director of worship initiatives

 The University of Mobile has named Zach Adamson as its new director of worship initiatives in the Alabama School of the Arts, a strategic leadership role designed to expand the university’s influence and innovation in worship leadership training.

Adamson, a 2009 alumnus, returns to his alma mater with 17 years of ministry experience at 3Circle Church, where he serves as worship pastor and executive pastor of creative arts and communications. He will continue in his leadership role at 3Circle Church while also investing in students and worship initiatives at the university.

As director of worship initiatives, Adamson is assigned with helping shape and strengthen the culture of worship across the university. Working alongside faculty, campus ministries and university leadership, he is charged with cultivating “meaningful, Christ-centered worship experiences that form students spiritually and artistically,” the university said. “Through his leadership, the Worship Leadership program will continue to grow in depth, influence and innovation, attracting and developing students who are called to serve the Church with theological conviction, creative excellence and pastoral heart,” UM noted in the news release.

Adamson will also spearhead songwriting initiatives at UM with the goal of cultivating a vibrant culture of original worship music, equipping students to write theologically rich and congregationally accessible songs that serve the Church and advance the mission of Christ, according to the university.

Adamson and his wife, Julie, have been married 18 years and have four children.
