Andre Samson

FAMILY & MEN’S EQUIPPING Director

I grew up in McKinney, Texas, as the youngest of three boys. I attended Austin College, where I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees before becoming a middle school teacher and coach in Frisco ISD. In 2015, I came to know Jesus through the faithful pursuit of co-workers and hearing the gospel clearly for the first time through sermons on an app.

I’m passionate about discipleship and honored to be part of what God is doing to raise up fully devoted followers of Christ through the transformational power of the gospel. I met my wife Sonja while serving in kids ministry, and today we’re blessed with three amazing children.

My heart is especially drawn to walking alongside men and families—encouraging them to grow in their faith, deepen their knowledge and love of God, and live out the truth of Scripture in everyday life. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with our dog, painting, playing just about any sport or game, and spending quality time with my family.
