Dr. Robert A. Adams, a beloved faculty member from Gulf Coast Bible College (GBC), who also moved with the college when it transitioned to Oklahoma City in 1985, passed away on Tuesday, March 12th, surrounded by loved ones. Dr. Adams faithfully served the institution from 1957 to 1991 as the Head of the Music Department, impacting the lives of many alumni.
Tim Mosteller ('67) shared this about Dr. Adams: "When I came to GBC, I was drawn to the Lord by flamboyant, pulpit-pounding, dynamic preachers. This was not Brother Adams. But he was a "still waters run deep" type of man. I remember in my freshman year, he allowed me to audition for the college choir. I had no music background, but he accepted me. I got to be in the choir for at least four of my years at GBC.
My favorite memory of Brother Adams was this: my first year at GBC during Holy Week, we would have "foot washing." I had never taken part in such a service, but lo and behold, Brother Adams washed my feet. I was totally blown away that a professor would wash the feet of a lowly freshman. I would never forget that service or that man, Robert Adams. There were other ways in which I remember both Robert and Juanita Adams. They were truly great people. The world is a better place because of them; I am a better person because of them."
