Our Leadership

Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, Samantha has experienced the adventure of serving around the world with Youth With A Mission and continues to pursue God’s calling through her Master’s in Ministry and Leadership at Western Seminary.

She is a wife, mom of two kiddos, and an unashamed Bible nerd with a deep love for both Scripture and the local church. She is especially passionate about raising up young leaders and walking with them through the various seasons of life. Whether mentoring one-on-one, teaching, or simply being present in community, she believes in the power of truth spoken in love and leadership rooted in service. On any given day you’ll likely find her adventuring through Santa Cruz county with her family. She loves hiking, playing board games, beach volleyball and lavender lattes.
