Our Leadership
Meet Our Staff
Rev. Glenn Sampayan
Pastor
Originally from the Philippines, Pastor Glenn has spent 34 years in ordained ministry, with 9 of those as a chaplain at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin. In fact, June 22 of this year will be the 34th anniversary of his ordination. He and his wife, Keren, who is a registered nurse in Austin, have two adult children, Arch and Glenn Jr. Pastor Glenn enjoys all kinds of sports – tennis, basketball, swimming, cycling – just to name a few. We invite you to join us at the potluck luncheon following worship today to start to get to know him and his family.
