  • Pastor Adam McCulloch

    Adam was born in Oklahoma in the USA and grew up in West Virginia. Adam grew up as a non-Christian, and wanted nothing to do with Christianity throughout high school and into the beginning of his university years. Yet God did an amazing work in Adam’s life while attending university; God began convicting Adam of his sinful lifestyle and opened His eyes to see the emptiness of life without Christ. Adam eventually believed in the gospel while attending university and experienced the joy of a new life in Christ. After becoming a Christian, he transferred to Liberty University in Virginia and majored in Biblical Studies.


    While at Liberty, Adam became exposed to the spiritual needs of the world through a summer mission trip to East Asia. After graduating, he moved to East Asia to teach English with a Christian organization, and while there he met his wife Mary. They returned to the US, got married, and then moved to Louisville, Kentucky where Adam studied theology and counseling at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.


    After finishing seminary, the McCullochs moved back to East Asia and spent many years serving as Christian workers to a large unreached people group. In 2019, his family moved to Hong Kong where Adam spent 3 years as the associate pastor at Ambassador International Church. In August of 2022, Adam became the pastor at ECC.


    Adam and Mary are blessed with 3 wonderful daughters – Katie, Caroline and Anne. All three girls attend International Christian School in Hong Kong. In his free time, Adam loves hiking Hong Kong’s trails, enjoying Hong Kong’s food, and watching American football and basketball.

  • Shannon Brown

    Director Of Ministries

    Shannon was born in Tennessee in the USA. He grew up in a Christian home and though genuinely converted as a boy, it took years before he would know what it truly meant to follow Jesus. When he was 14 his dad passed away. This made a huge impact in his life because he saw his father die trusting in Christ. By his grace, God put older men in the church in his life to disciple him and mentor him in the absence of his father. He has served in virtually every form of ministry from intern to missionary to worship leader to lead pastor. He is so thankful to now serve at ECC as Director of Ministries. His life goals are to Behold, Belong & Be Sent. Ask him what that means.


    He drinks tea not coffee and could eat Indian food every day. He is married to Amber and they have 5 children (Piper, Zeik, Lottie, Millie & Borden) and love living in Hong Kong.
