Sam Greening's Profile

A native of Kentucky, I am an ordained pastor who's served congregations in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Germany, and the USA. I received my BA in German from the University of Louisville and my MDiv from Drew University. I am the pastor of Pilgrim Christian Church in Chardon, Ohio—a partnership congregation (UCC & DOC). I have ordained ministerial status in both denominations. The views expressed in this blog are my own and are not intended to represent the views of the congregation I serve.
