Sam has been the Director of Music, Organist and Choir Director for over 40 years.

He studied Organ at Middle Tennessee State University with Margaret Wright, Dale Voelker and Darryl Miller. He also studied with Jeanette Carrigan at Scarritt College and Master Classes with Wilma Jensen. Sam studied Choral Directing with T. Earl Hinton and Sandra Willetts.

He was a Music Composition major at MTSU and frequently writes arrangements for the Chancel Choir and Hymns. Sam uses his creativity finding new ways to arrange hymns and choral pieces utilizing the thousand plus sounds in the organ.
