Meet the Rock Creek Team

SAM HALL

Senior Pastor
Pastor Sam is the youngest of five children and grew up deeply immersed in ministry, inspired by his father, who has faithfully pastored for over 50 years. In 2010, Sam married his wife, Emily, and together they are proud parents to three wonderful sons: William, Jackson, and Caleb.
With over a decade of ministry experience, Pastor Sam has served in various capacities, including worship and youth pastor, associate pastor, and senior pastor. He holds a degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Regent University, equipping him with a solid foundation for teaching and leadership.
In 2023, Sam and Emily answered God’s call to move from Wisconsin to Georgia, embarking on a new chapter of ministry. Sam is passionate about connecting with others and serving in all aspects of ministry. When he’s not serving the church, you’ll find him enjoying his hobbies: playing guitar, hitting the softball field, or simply spending quality time with his family.
