SAM & DEYA SPANO

Pastors Sam and Deya came to Arlington Assembly five years ago and are grateful to be a part of the leadership team.  Aside from pastoring, they love spending time with family and friends, exploring the PNW.   Sam is an avid soccer fan, and has served in all areas of ministry from youth, media, mens ministry, small groups , discipleship, and next steps.  
Deya Co-Leads AA with Pastor Sam, and is the Worship Pastor & Women’s Ministry Director. She’s enjoys reading, making people feel special and decorating all the spaces around the church.

The Spano's have two adult daughters,  are  empty nesters,  and  recently became grandparents.
They love living in the Pacific Northwest and are committed to serving this community and seeing people’s lives transformed by the good news of Jesus Christ. They are so thankful for what God is doing here, but feel, as a church, we are just getting ready to see what God will do with people who are wholeheartedly committed to Him.

"We believe Arlington is about to flourish like never before as God pours out His spirit in this area.”
The Best is Yet to Come Arlington Assembly!
