Our President, Founder,  and  PUBLISHED AUTHOR,  Pastor Sam hails from the beautiful metropolis of Nassau, Bahamas.  At an early age he heard and responded to the CALL of God on his life for ministry.   He was early on in life inspired to give of the best to His Master, and to give of the strength of his youth.  Upon confirmation of the CALL, he made academic and spiritual preparation his immediate passion, to give God and His people the best possible service.


​     Despite his many  and varied challenges in life, he remains true to the call of God on his life.  Pastor Sam is a testimony to the keeping power of God.  He has long felt, and identified with Paul in Ephesians 3: 8 "Unto me who am less than the least of the saints is this grace given that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable richness of Christ and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery . . ."  And yet Pastor Sam feels humbled,  honored, and continually gives thanks that "Jesus Christ our Lord, hath enabled, and considered [him] faithful, calling him into the ministry" (I Tim. 12).


As a seeker, he studied at Southeastern College (now University) in Lakeland, FL (BA), The Nazarene Theological Seminary, Kansas City (MRE), The University of Louisville (MA) & Spalding University (Ed.D), Louisville, KY.  He also studied for a year at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
As an avid educator, he has taught in colleges and public schools for 27  years.


This pastor is determined to minister unto God in excellence, giving His people excellence until the day, he can say like Paul: " . . . I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge shall give me on that day: and not only me, but all those who love His appearing." (2 Tim. 4: 7-8).
