With all the negative news and hero worship of the rich and famous today, it is gratifying to know there are godly young people in our church who are following the Lord. One such couple is Adam and Amanda Knight.

Adam, son of Terry and Cindy Knight, was born in Riverside and moved to Anderson when he was 14. Adam has two sisters and a brother. Amanda, daughter of Bill and Denise Mendenhall, was born in Red Bluff. She also has two sisters and a brother.

At the age of five, on the very same day, Adam and Amanda received Christ as their Savior. They met while in the College Group and have been married five years. Arielle, their daughter, is two years old. They live in Red Bluff.

Recently Adam established Knightly Computing. Amanda teaches piano and uses her sign language skills at church functions.

They teach kindergarten Sunday school and head up the Children’s Music Program where Amanda plays the piano and Adam plays the guitar.

Their future hope for Christianity complements one another. Adam prays and works for more unity within the church while Amanda prays for unity in the World and Missions. Favorite Bible verses – Adam’s is 1 Corinthians 13 and Amanda likes Romans 8:28 and Philippians 4:4.

Adam’s hobbies are yard work, working on cars and technical “gadgets.” Amanda loves music, reading and writing; having already written several short stories. “Dakardi” is their chocolate lab pup and “Monet” a love bird.

The next time the news media indicates the world is doomed, citing examples of all that is wrong with our younger generation, praise God that NCAC is raising up godly young people like these two.

Adam is currently a deacon candidate. If you have any comments on his candidacy, submit them to the Elders before December 1.
