We have seen many new faces around Veritas Church! Praise God! We know that it can be hard to get to know leadership sometimes, so we thought that it would be fun to do a blog series introducing each staff member and a few fun facts about them. This week we want to introduce you to Samantha Metheny, our Executive Administrator.

What first brought you to Veritas?
When my husband and I first moved to the Fayetteville area in 2013, we began our church-search. We visited several local churches that we enjoyed, but we continued visiting churches while waiting for the Holy Spirit to let us know that we were ‘home’. After visiting Veritas, we knew that this is where God called us to stay! We moved away from Fayetteville in the fall of 2018 and returned in August 2020. It was wonderful to have a church family to step right back into when we arrived back.

Tell us about your role at Veritas.
I am the Executive Administrator for Veritas - our ‘behind-the-scenes’ staff member. I handle all of our communications avenues (website, church database, file storage software, social media, livestream team, etc.) oversee accounts receivable/payable, manage relationships with Freedom Christian and the owners of our office building, and several other boring things that require spreadsheets.

What are some of your hobbies?
I love weightlifting! It is so fun. I also used to own a photography business and still enjoy the occasional photo session just for fun.

What’s your favorite beverage?
Before 2p, a hot cup of black coffee (dark roast - light/medium roast is gross). After 2p I enjoy coconut La Croix.

What is the last fiction book that you read?
I am currently reading My Dear Hamilton by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie. This is my first time reading historical fiction - I’ve enjoyed it so far!
