Andrew Anobile Ordained to Gospel Ministry

Church members from the Madison Campus, Tenn., church, as well as family, friends, and colleagues joined with Conference administrative officers in celebrating the ordination of Andrew Anobile on Sabbath, June 22, 2024.

As a pastor and a teacher's kid, Pastor Andrew has spent his whole life immersed in the Adventist culture. Fighting his calling to ministry, Pastor Andrew studied pre-med/Emergency Services at Pacific Union College. After graduating in 2014 with an associate degree in Health Sciences, he began his studies at Southern Adventist University.

More open to ministry but still resistant, he graduated from Southern in 2016 with double bachelor's degrees in social work and religious studies. Following this, he worked as the Assistant Chaplain for Southern, developing discipleship initiatives with students. Pastor Andrew was then hired by the Georgia-Cumberland Conference and began his Seminary studies at Andrews University in the summer of 2017. While there, he worked as the part-time Administrative Pastor for Living Word Fellowship and graduated with his Master of Divinity in December 2019.

From January 2020 until October 2022, Pastor Andrew served as the Associate Pastor/Interim Senior Pastor of the Duluth Adventist Church and as the Lead Pastor of the Lawrenceville Adventist Church Company.

Pastor Andrew is married to his lovely wife Ashley, a nurse, and they have a baby boy, Andrew Jr (Drew). If not with his family or serving the Madison community, you can find Pastor Andrew reading, watching a movie, playing or watching sports, or fixing his house or car. Pastor Andrew loves people and Jesus, and his greatest desire is to see people understand who they are in Christ, living their lives to the full in preparation for the one to come.
