Dr. Elijah Mwitanti was born and raised in Zambia to Christian parents who nurtured him in the things of God from a young age. Consequently, he took a keen interest in worship, Bible Study and Christian fellowship, the setting which provided a connection with the Rev. Reiner Grossman, one of the two first Liebenzell missionaries in partnership with the Zambia Baptist Association. This connection evolved into a discipleship relationship which led Elijah to theological studies upon whose completion he, supported by his wife Kerris, served in different aspects of ministry within the Zambia Baptist Association. Needing advanced theological training, the Mwitantis moved to the United States where he studied for his divinity degree with assistance from Liebenzell USA. He currently serves as Senior Pastor at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Fairfax Virginia. The Mwitantis are grateful parents of a son and three daughters.[/modal_popup_box]Teaching Elder at Emmanuel Bible Chapel, Schooley’s Mountain, NJ

He became a Christian his sophomore year of college at Oklahoma State University and strongly desired to minister in the local church shortly thereafter.
Upon graduating college, he moved to Denton, Texas to pursue a pastoral internship program, where he met his wife Aly. Adam and Aly got married in 2013 and spent five years in Louisville Kentucky, where Adam finished the Master of Divinity degree and began the Doctorate of Philosophy in Systematic Theology, while Aly taught Spanish and continued her studies in Education.
Their son was born in May of 2020 and has been a delight to them. Adam and Aly enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, decaf coffee, good food (who doesn’t?), and walking their dog, Luella.
Adam has served as the teaching elder at Emmanuel Bible Chapel since September of 2018. Adam’s passion in ministry is preaching and teaching the Scriptures, as well as discipling others in the local church to do the work of the ministry.
