Rev. Dr. Natalie Kay Nicholas Adams

Rev. Dr. Natalie Kay Nicholas Adams, known to most as Mrs. Natalie, a loving wife and mother of two children, passed away at the age of 59 on October 21st, 2020.

Natalie was born on June 18, 1961 in Pittsburgh, PA and was forever a Steelers fan.

She graduated from Shorter College (BS), The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv), and Columbia Theological Seminary (DMin). Natalie served in various ministerial positions in churches in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Georgia. Natalie was chosen to be the first church planter for the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Georgia. She was Pastor of Bannister Creek Church in North Forsyth County. Natalie medically retired from full-time ministry after a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma.

"In her retirement," Natalie helped develop a crafting ministry at Creekside Church. Through her love of crocheting, jewelry making, and most recently mask making, Natalie positively impacted those she encountered as well as those who were the recipient of her generosity. Her passion for the Lord transcended all of her relationships and everything her hands touched. She was a living example of how to love your neighbor and put others above yourself. Natalie will be remembered for her kind, compassionate, and caring spirit; a true testimony to the God she so faithfully served.

She is survived by her husband Tony, her two children Alison and Samuel, her father Charles Nicholas and her brothers Chuck and Dale.
