They then returned to Daytona Beach to help start a church with Pastor Tom and Patty Dubois. Sam developed the children’s ministry in the new church and continued to serve as Children’s Pastor for 25 years. They have been blessed to watch children grow up and become mighty men and women of God. They are honored to assist Pastor John and Cathy Mazza as they answer God’s call on their lives.
