Pastor Sam Merigala is the founder of Grace Gospel Church in Delaware. His journey is a testament to God's grace and the repurposing of a high-level corporate career for eternal Kingdom impact. Leading an international, multilingual congregation, his ministry is laser-focused on reaching the unchurched, equipping believers with biblical truth, and interceding for the needs of our local community and the nations.
Before answering the call to ministry, Pastor Sam earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Systems Engineering, spending over two decades in corporate executive leadership at global financial institutions and founding a global IT consulting firm. Guided by the Holy Spirit in 2012, he planted Grace Gospel Church on the apostolic calling of Reach Out, Equip, and Pray.
As a digital architect for the Gospel, Pastor Sam produces the Let Us Rethink podcast and leverages modern media workflows to carry the message of Jesus far beyond traditional church walls. He ministers alongside his wife, Christie—who also periodically shares uplifting messages on Sundays in Telugu—and their sons, Jonathan and Jasper.
