Church members from the Madison Campus, Tenn., Church, as well as family, friends, and colleagues, joined with the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference administrative officers in celebrating the ordination of Andrew Anobile on Sabbath, June 22, 2024.
As a pastor and a teacher’s child, Anobile spent his whole life immersed in the Adventist culture. Fighting his calling to ministry, he studied pre-med/emergency services at Pacific Union College. After graduating in 2014, with an associate degree in health sciences, he began his studies at Southern Adventist University.
More open to ministry but still resistant, he graduated from Southern in 2016, with double bachelor’s degrees in social work and religious studies. Following this, he worked as the assistant chaplain for Southern, developing discipleship initiatives with students. Anobile was then hired by the Georgia-Cumberland Conference and began his seminary studies at Andrews University in the summer of 2017. While there, he worked as the part-time administrative pastor for Living Word Fellowship, and graduated with his master of divinity degree in December 2019.
From January 2020 until October 2022, Anobile served as the associate pastor/interim senior pastor of the Duluth, Ga., Adventist Church, and as the lead pastor of the Lawrenceville, Ga., Adventist Company.
Anobile is married to Ashley, a nurse, and they have a baby boy, Andrew Jr . (Drew). If not with his family or serving the Madison community, you can find Anobile reading, watching a movie, playing or watching sports, or fixing his house or car. He loves people and Jesus, and his greatest desire is to see people understand who they are in Christ, living their lives to the fullest in preparation for the One to come.
