Our Team

The Rev. Dr. Samuel D. Ferguson became rector of The Falls Church Anglican in May of 2019, having served on staff in various roles since 2011. Raised in Chester County, PA, Sam attended Drexel University in Philadelphia where, following graduation, he coached high school basketball in the Philadelphia Public League and worked for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. After sensing a call to pastoral ministry, he undertook theological training at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M.Div), Cambridge University (M.Phil), and Southeastern Seminary (Ph.D.).

Sam was ordained as a presbyter in the Anglican Church in North America in 2011. He is the author of the recent book, The Spirit and Relational Anthropology in Paul, which considers an idea at the heart of his pastoral vision: We are not ourselves by ourselves but need each other to be faithful disciples of Christ.
