The Rev. Samuel Adams, vicar

Fr. Sam grew up in the small Southeast Texas town of Bridge City. After graduating from Texas A&M with a degree in Applied Math, he lived and worked in a number of places—including in Rwanda where he worked for a Christian NGO, and in South Dakota where he worked on an organic vegetable farm—before starting seminary at Wycliffe College in Toronto in 2011. 

Fr. Sam grew up Southern Baptist, and he found his way into the Episcopal/Anglican tradition about a year after college. He was initially attracted to The Episcopal Church for its global connectedness to other churches around the world through the Anglican Communion (what we might call “catholicity”), but the deal was sealed for him upon experiencing the beauty and depth of the liturgy itself, and the nourishing spiritual rhythms of the Book of Common Prayer. 

Ordained in 2014, Fr. Sam spent five years working at a parish in Nashville, Tennessee before moving to the Diocese of Dallas in the Summer of 2019. Through his life experience and pastoral ministry, he has developed a passion for helping folks connect and find belonging in the Body of Christ, and for helping them grow as disciples who are eager to invite others to share in the abundant life they have experienced in Jesus. 

In his spare time, Fr. Sam also enjoys reading, running, hiking, birdwatching (a new hobby since the pandemic!), and exploring local watering holes (natural and otherwise). You can contact him at sadams@staugustinesoakcliff.org.
