"Pastor Sam" (as he is affectionately called) is a native of Kershaw, SC, a small textile community not too far from Columbia, SC.
Becoming a Christian at a young age, Pastor Sam quickly discovered God's call upon his life when in high school he was asked to speak for various youth events and gatherings.
Following wise advice from respected pastors and teachers, he could think of nothing grander to speak about than the love of his Savior, a message he still spreads to this day.
Pastor Sam graduated from Furman University in 1976 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History.
He attended Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary where he graduated with his Masters of Divinity in 1979, before earning the title of Doctor of Ministry in 1986 from Southeastern Theological Seminary.
A missionary for 8 years in Nanterre, France, a pastor, serviceman, professor, and more, Pastor Sam and his beloved wife Joyce have a wide array of experience from which to draw to help meet your need. More than that, Pastor Sam has complete faith in God to transform the lives of people, and longs to see yours be next!
