Sam rejoined Gateway Church staff in 2026 as our Kidway Director. She is a graduate of Colorado Christian University with a degree in elementary education. She has taught in classrooms in Ohio, Colorado, and South Africa (as a missionary).
Sam and her husband, Mat, have been attending Gateway since 2013. They have 2 children, Zeph and Addi. Sam loves spending time with them, hearing them laugh and discussing all things from why God allows sin to how mama birds keep their nests clean (if you know, you know). Sam and Mat serve as Life Group leaders (to the best group ever).
