With experience working in administration roles in churches, as well as for both secular and christian organisations, Sam is a committed Christian who wants to help churches take care of the 'behind-the-scenes' jobs so that Pastors are freed up to do their most important tasks.
Married to Dave (a Pastor himself), Sam works from home where she also cares for their children.
