Richard Adams
Richard Adams (?-1716) was a Particular Baptist preacher. After leaving the Anglican Church in favor of believer’s baptism, he was appointed the pastor of an Arminian Baptist congregation meeting at Shad Thames, London. However, failing to persuade the congregation to embrace the teachings of sovereign grace, he was appointed co-pastor with William Kiffin over the PB church meeting at Devonshire Square, London. He was also one of the signatories on the letter inviting the PB churches to attend the 1689 General Assembly.

The Life And Ministry Richard Adams
He was originally a member of the baptized church formed by Mr. John Tombes at Bewdly, and by that learned man was educated with Captain Boylton and Mr. Eccles for the ministry. It is probable that he obtained the living of Humberstone in this county by the favour of his Tutor and Pastor, who was one of the Triers appointed by Cromwell in 1653. From this parish he was ejected by the Bartholomew Act in 1662, and he afterwards married at Mountsorrel, where it should seem he kept a school for the support of his family.
