LIZ ADAMS
ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR
Liz is the Administrative Director for The Two Percent where she has the privilege to serve God and the indegineous people of her community. She is currently a Theology student at Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama. She served her local church community as an elder at the Yucaipa Samoan SDA Church in California and also her faith community as the Administrative Assistant to the Youth, Young Adult, Children, and Family Directors of the Southeastern California Conference Youth Ministries department. Working closely with leaders and pastors of the next generation, she has witnessed how God uses young people to create change in the church, community, and the world. A fun, known, but still equally shocking fact to some is that Liz was born and raised by the harsh sting of the samoan salu in American Samoa and speaks fluent Gagana Samoa. She is the daughter of her lovely mother, Saipai, and her strong family roots can be found in the beautiful village of Samatau in Upolu, Western Samoa. Liz is passionate about a number of things, but none more than making it abundantly clear to young people that God is full of grace, love, and understanding.
