The Lord called Pastor Sam to plant Harvest Liberty Lake Church in early 2021. At the time, Sam had been serving on staff as a pastor at a church in Spokane Valley for the past seven years. With the help of his family, a committed team of other Christians, and Converge Northwest, Harvest Liberty Lake Church opened for ministry in Sept. of 2023.

Sam’s passion for ministry is rooted in Ephesians 4:11-12— equipping the saints for the work of ministry and building up the body of Christ. Sam enjoys training and mentoring new leaders, preaching the Bible, and seeing people come to saving faith in Jesus!

Some of Pastor Sam's favorite pastimes are spending time with his family, having a good cup of coffee, eating good food, and playing lots and lots of Pickleball!

Sam Kraemer has been married to his wife, Michaelene, since June 2013. Together they have three children: Evelyn (8), Josephine (6), and Isaac (2).
