The Factory Names New Director By Ann Mead Ash
Adam Nagle is still settling into his new office in the Together Community Center (TCC), where he was recently named executive director of The Factory Ministries. While the walls in the office may still be bare, Nagle has assessed the situation and is eagerly working to move forward in his new role. “This is a special place with a really bright future,” said Nagle. “There’s energy and optimism, and I am excited about the pieces I can contribute.” Nagle, who was raised in Lititz, has training and experience in a number of areas that qualify him to lead the ministry. He attended Lititz Christian School and graduated from Warwick High School in 1995, later serving as a staff member of the Warwick football coaching team. He attended Word of Life Bible Institute in Pottersville, N.Y., See New Director pg 4
