On Sundays, Samantha is the friendly face welcoming kids and families into our children’s ministry. She helps with check-in, leads kids to class, and makes sure our babies, toddlers, and preschoolers are safe, loved, and learning. Samantha supports and supervises our early childhood teachers, communicates with parents to meet each child’s needs, and keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes—everything from recruiting and training volunteers to budgeting and classroom maintenance.

During the week, she continues to bless our church as one of the wonderful teachers at First Methodist Preschool. Outside of work, Samantha enjoys relaxing with a good book, watching movies, listening to music, and spending time with her family. If she had a superpower, it’d be super speed—so she could be everywhere at once and never miss a moment with the people she loves.
