Adams is a member of Pentecostal City Impact Church, and as a result, became involved in Christian politics in New Zealand.

Thanks to the unexpectedly strong performance of United Future, the party gained enough votes for eight seats, leaving Adams just outside Parliament.

After he was elected, it was reported that he had made a written submission on the 1993 Human Rights Bill saying that people with AIDS should not be allowed to "run loose".

On 15 August 2005 Adams left United Future to stand as an independent in the East Coast Bays Electorate.

He was subsequently involved with a proposed new party to be established by his former colleague Gordon Copeland and Destiny New Zealand.
