Western Plains District

The District’s Congregational Resourcing Team is pleased to introduce Philip and Nicole Sampson as our new Junior High Ministry Coordinators! Both are members of the Community Church of the Brethren in Hutchinson, Kan., and Nicole is a member of its leadership team.

Philip grew up in the Hutchinson congregation and attended Hutchison Community College for welding. He is currently employed at Hospira in McPherson. Nicole came to Hutchinson in 2004 as a Brethren Volunteer Service worker. She worked at Friendship Day Care, which was affiliated with the Hutchinson congregation at the time. She grew up in Pennsylvania and attended the New Enterprise Church of the Brethren. She graduated from McPherson College in 2010 and graduated with her Master’s degree from Saint Francis University in Pennsylvania in 2013. Nicole is working as an occupational therapist. Nicole and Philip have been married and living McPherson since 2008 and are expecting their first child in April!

Nicole shares, “Philip and I are very excited and looking forward to meeting all of the Junior High Youth of the district! Our hope is to have fun as a group, develop lasting relationships, grow together in faith, and share the message and love of God through words, service, and action. Our first get-together will be the Junior High Youth Rally February 7-9. Hope to see you there!”

The Congregational Resourcing Team is delighted that the Western Plains District has strong district level programs for both the Junior High and Senior High youth. We are pleased to welcome Philip and Nicole to their important leadership assignments.
