Sam joined the Heritage staff as Youth Pastor in the spring of 2013 after graduating from Liberty University. After 7 great years in Youth Ministry, Sam transitioned roles to leading our Young Adults Ministry. His joy comes from leading young adults into a deeper walk with the Lord and teaching them to serve God through the local church. He continues to help administratively in Youth as well as leading our Media Team, amongst other ministries. Sam was married to his wife Hayley in 2017 and has 3 beautiful children: Carson (7), Claire (4) and brand new baby Cooper. When Sam is not at church he enjoys hunting, coaching little league and spending time with family and friends.
