Sam Barry
Regional Minister (Part-Time)
Sam began serving in the EMCC in 2006 when he was hired by one of our Ontario churches. In addition to his role on the National Team, he currently serves as Associate Pastor at EastRidge Church in Stouffville. He and his wife Ashley have built a vibrant and active home life with their three children.
Before joining EastRidge in 2020, Sam served for sixteen years at Markham Missionary Church, fulfilling nearly every staff role. At EastRidge, he has been part of a team dedicated to rebuilding the church from the ground up following the impact of COVID-19.
Sam is passionate about leadership development. In 2021, he completed a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) focused on pastoral mentoring experiences. He is a strong advocate for shared leadership and is committed to equipping the next generation to take ownership of using their gifts for the growth and impact of the church.
With the time left in a week, Sam enjoys mediocrely playing golf, participating in worship teams (on just about any instrument), and spending time reading, writing, and dreaming about the heart of Jesus and the future of the Church.
