Greetings in Jesus’ name! My name is Sam Stanes Stephen Raj. I am originally from Chennai, India where my parents are currently doing ministry as Pastors! I am a candidate for ordination as an elder in Northern Illinois conference of the United Methodist Church. I am passionate about pastoral care, community outreach and organizing, love to create inclusive spaces for worship, I am a justice seeker and enjoy music- both playing/singing and listening! I am so excited to be a part of and share my gifts with the Brooke Road United Methodist Church.
