Bill McClendon - Senior Pastor
Bill is the founding pastor of Adventist Fellowship. In 1999 he along with his wife Shirlene and daughter Shari along with a handful of friends accepted the challenge to plant a new Adventist church in Tulsa. Having been a part of a church that had not experienced much growth over the past 15 years, Bill had a strong conviction that a church could grow if it would devote itself to living out the Great Commission.
During the past 10 years, God has grown that handful of believers to the largest Adventist Church in Oklahoma. Known throughout North America for its aggressive evangelistic fervor Adventist Fellowship continues to be one of the fastest growing Adventist churches in the division.
In addition to his responsibilities as senior pastor, Bill also serves the Oklahoma Conference as Vice President and Ministerial Director.

Stephen Carlile - Youth Pastor
Stephen joined Adventist Fellowship in July of 2006 after graduating from Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska. Stephen and his wife Michelle have dedicated their life to help nurture and challenge young people in their walk with Christ.
Stephen and Michelle's roots have been at Adventist Fellowship since the beginning. Michelle was part of the core group that helped plant the church and Stephen joined soon after as part of the Praise and Worship team.
Nothing excites Stephen more than to see young people make good decisions and dedicate their lives to serve and uplift Jesus Christ.

Luis Rivera - Spanish Pastor
Luis was called to Adventist Fellowship in January 2007 to focus on spreading God’s Word within the Hispanic population of Tulsa. He and his wife, Debbie, love the Lord and love to work with adults, youth and little ones. They have three children: Samuel, Elizabeth and Joshua.
Luis was born in Bogotá, Colombia. At age seven his family migrated to Venezuela. Finally, God brought him to the United States to prepare him for his work in ministry.
Luis is passionate about evangelism, reaching people who don’t know Christ and is excited that God has called him to Tulsa. He and his family think that every Sabbath is a high Sabbath when working for the Lord.
