Rev. Adams was such a caring and compassionate person who loved God and who knew the Word of God. As a member of Corinthian Baptist Church Rev Adams was a part of the village that shaped me to become the women I am today. Thank you! May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Rev. Charles Elmer Adams
My uncle Charles was very special to me. I was always proud of him and looked up to him. As a child and in my youth, I'd be thrilled to run into him driving his street sweeper truck. It was so exciting to see MY Uncle up there in the truck and waving back to me and my friends! When he was studying for the ministry, my family was going through a difficult time. I will always remember the times he came to our house weekly to counsel and pray. I was so...

The Christian Church has lost a true man of God. I’ve known Rev. Adams since 1959. He was my Sunday School Teacher, Scout Master, Mentor, and Friend. He gave me directions, motivation, corrections, and encouragement. It was a pleasure to be in his presence and ministry. May all learn from his example.

I met Mr. & Mrs. Adams when I moved two doors from them on Sparks Street and they were one of the first neighbors I met. He and his wife were very nice and helpful to me. When I got married and a couple of years later, my husband's Sister died, he helped us so much. He was such a beautiful person. Every morning I would leave for work he would be leaving for his daily walk and he walked all over the neighborhood to get his exercise workout in every day. I will miss Rev. Adams. My Prayers will...

Rev. Adams will always be a part of the tapestry of my life. I will always remember his sweet gentle spirit and his beautiful smile. One of my greatest memories of Rev. Adams is a summer week (approximately 1970) during the convention session for the Pennsylvania Congress of Christian Education. The host church was White Rock Baptist Church located in West Philadelphia. It rained like cats and dogs every day of the convention. Rev. Adams faithfully picked me up at my home and drove me...
