COLUMBUS—Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) is pleased to announce Gary Adam as the Executive Director of their Christian Business Partnership, Ohio's only statewide Christian Chamber of Commerce.

“Christian business owners face intense pressure to abandon their convictions,” said CCV President Aaron Baer. “Gary has the corporate experience and pastoral heart needed to lead the Christian Business Partnership as we develop a network of businesses that refuse to bow to woke capitalism and instead choose to honor God's design for work and family.”

Gary brings over 20 years of executive experience, including serving in senior roles with Rocky Brands, R.G. Barry Corp, NetJets and Five Star Home Services.

“I am delighted to join the team at Center for Christian Virtue and the Christian Business Partnership,” said Gary Adam. “Together, we will build a community of business leaders who honor God and strengthen one another to impact our great state, knowing that ‘iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another’ according to Proverbs 27:17.”

Gary is also committed to service through church leadership, addiction recovery initiatives, youth development and mental health advocacy. Gary currently serves as the Men’s Pastor and Executive Director of Operations at The Family Church of Pickerington, where he attends with his wife and daughter. He has also served on the Development Committee for the Emerge Recovery and Trade Initiative in Xenia and as President of The Kano Foundation, North America.
