Sam and Natalie Maglaris met in ministry school in 2010, and from the very beginning, they knew they wanted to serve God together. After a short season as missionaries in Thailand, they returned to the U.S. and opened a restaurant, where hospitality and ministry naturally came together. Over the past eight years, they've led a house church and faithfully served their local church community in various ways.

Their hearts burn for discipleship and seeing people come to truly know and follow Jesus. Sam is currently pursuing his M.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies at Phoenix Seminary, and together they homeschool their three children, building their lives around faith, family, and intentional community.
