Sam Luce

About Sam Luce

I have been a pastor at Redeemer Church in Utica NY for the past 18 years. In those years I have served in multiple roles currently I serve as the Pastor to Families for all four of our locations.

I am currently a contributing editor to K! magazine, served as chairman of  INCM, co-authored “The Eric Trap”,  have been involved in several book projects, and been blogging at samluce.com since 2007. I have spoken at conferences and have done some consulting and coaching. My real passion lies in preaching the gospel, building and strengthening the local church in any way possible because I believe in creating environments where life change can take place. I truly believe that the local church is the hope of the world.

I have been married to my beautiful wife for 17 years together we have 4 beautiful children ages 10, 8, 6 and 2. We currently live in Upstate New York.
