I have been at Messiah since 1996 and have seen many
transitions in ministry and the lives of many people. During my time here I have also gone from
being a Director of Christian Education to training to become a pastor. Going back to school while trying to raise a
family and working full time was a blessing and extremely challenging.
I have an awesome wife that was very supportive and awesome through it all. Cheryl and I are now approaching that life stage of becoming empty nesters. Our two oldest have graduated from college and have their own lives now. Our youngest is in his last year of high school. Through it all, I have found that God is always faithful to be with us and provide us with encouragement from others. The road isn’t always easy, but God is good. It’s a journey and God has given us the hope of his grace, forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus. email Pastor Sam |
