Also, known as Papa Bear, Russ Adams considers it a privilege to be standing side by side with part of his family singing about the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. At an early age, he began playing guitar and singing in places not worth speaking of; however, in January 1973 when Jesus saved his soul, Russ began playing and singing in places that he is proud to speak about. Those places are anywhere that lifts up our Lord and Savior. Russ resides in Trenton, Ohio with his wife Peggy. All he can say is “to God be the Glory. Great things He hath done!”. |

The oldest child of Peggy and Russ, Kane is the band’s drummer and a minister of the Gospel for over 15 years. At a young age Kane was told that he did not have the talent to play the drum’s. However, God had other plans for Kane. Eighteen years later, after two weeks of lessons, God blessed him with the gift of playing the drums. Kane resides in Indian Springs with his wife and children. |

Susan, the daughter of Russ and Peggy, grew up traveling with the original Adams Family. She began singing at the age of 8 and became a permanent member of the group when she was 18 years old. In 1996, Susan gave her life to Christ and since that night, the Lord has truly placed a new song in her heart and a passion for ministering in song. She shares that testimony whenever the Lord leads and has seen Him work mightily as a result. Currently, Susan sings lead vocals and occasionally lends her talents on the piano. Her main desire is to see souls won to our Lord Jesus Christ. |

David, our lead guitarist and sound man, began playing the guitar at the age of 15. During this time, God began to really deal with him. Through his parent’s (Paul and Lena) intercessory prayers, it was not long before he realized his need for Christ and gave his heart to Jesus. He met the Adams Family in 1994. In March of 1995 he and Susan were married. David’s love for the guitar and music is only superseded by his love for the Word of God. David, an ordained minister, enjoys teaching and preaching God’s Word. His desire is to minister whether through song or in the Word and see lives changed. His motto is simply “give ‘em Jesus”. |

Being raised in church, I never accepted Jesus until I heard a powerful message by Ronnie Owens titled "HOW NOT TO DWELL IN HELL". Then realizing I needed Jesus in my life, I accepted him on August 16, 1996. Since that day God has put a desire in my heart to share His love through music. After playing the guitar for The Benge Family for 5 years, God opened the door for me to play with my own family. To me there is nothing more humbling then to be on stage sharing Gods love and seeing a lost person come to an alter to accept Jesus as their savior. I thank God every day for my Mom and Dad, for without their love and prayers, it's scary to think where I would be right now.
