Hey, it’s Sammy!
I’m really glad you’re checking us out! As a youth pastor, my mission is to help you discover how a relationship with Jesus can truly transform your life. Our Wednesday nights are all about building real connections, making friends, and experiencing the love and warmth of Christ in a community that cares.
I was inspired to step into youth ministry because of my uncle, who mentored kids at the Boys and Girls Club. Watching how his love and mentorship impacted lives showed me the power of shining the light of true Christianity. That stuck with me, and now I want to help youth experience that same love so they can carry it into their homes, schools, and friendships.
I know trying something new can feel intimidating, but once you’re here, you’ll see it’s different — the love of Christ changes everything. When hearts experience that, they want to come back, and then they go out and share that love with others.
On a personal note, my family is my world. My wife, Angelica, our kids, and our two dogs keep life full of joy, laughter, and adventure. I’m just a working man who loves serving the Lord and finds his greatest joy in seeing his kids succeed. Oh, and I’m a Raiders fan — but don’t hold that against me!
I can’t wait to meet you and see how God transforms lives together with us.
