Samuel's Journey in Music Ministry

Samuel began piano lessons as a young child, and as he developed as a musician, he became deeply involved in his home church’s music ministry. As a teenager, he served as the church pianist, playing for congregational hymns, offertories, and more, fostering a deep love for church music. Today, Samuel continues to serve in the music ministry at Clays Mill Baptist Church, where he plays for special music, sings, and arranges hymns for offertories. He thrives on arranging, playing by ear, and composing original pieces. His passion lies in creating music that touches the heart and uplifts believers in their walk with God.

Samantha's Musical Path

Samantha began taking piano lessons at the age of nine, with a strong focus on classical music. She became involved in church music at a young age and began serving as a substitute pianist at her home church by the age of 15. Later, she pursued a degree in Music Education, directing children’s choirs and accompanying both community and church choirs during and after college. With over 15 years of experience, Samantha now serves as the church pianist at Clays Mill Baptist Church and teaches music at Commonwealth Baptist College. Her heart for serving the Lord shines through her playing and songwriting, as she is dedicated to producing Christ-honoring music.

Their Shared Vision

With a shared love for serving in the music ministry, Samuel and Samantha felt called by God to create more resources for church musicians, choir directors, and students. This calling led them to found Alleluia Music, a resource designed to equip and inspire those involved in church music. Their mission is to provide tools and support for those who desire to serve God through their musical gifts, with the ultimate goal of making Christ known through their music.
