Samuel and Evelyn Sierra

“Greater Love has no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
​Life Verse: John 15:13

Samuel Sierra is a Professional Pastoral Counselor and Advanced Life Coach committed to helping individuals and families experience the transforming power of God’s love and truth. Drawing from his own story of redemption, he integrates biblical principles with emotional-health practices to support healing, restoration, and spiritual growth. With compassion and authenticity, Samuel walks with people as they rediscover their identity in Christ and build healthy, grace-filled relationships.

Evelyn Sierra shares Samuel’s passion for guiding others toward freedom, healing, and wholeness in Christ. With a heart for women and families, she encourages spiritual formation, emotional restoration, and Christ-centered relationships. Her own journey of faith has shaped a deep compassion for those seeking to understand their worth and identity in Jesus.

Together, Samuel and Evelyn serve in ministry as a unified team, offering prayer, mentorship, and support to individuals and couples. They have three adult children and four grandchildren and have made Reston their home since moving from Brooklyn, New York in 1990. Samuel has served in full-time ministry for more than 35 years, and Evelyn—after 40 years of dedicated service—now consults part-time.
They enjoy visiting their children and grandchildren, spending time in North Myrtle Beach, and connecting with others through shared interests such as walking, music, reading, and hospitality.

Fully aware that God is still shaping and refining them, they are grateful to be called to eldership. They hold firmly to the truth that God does not call the prepared—He prepares the called—and they count it a privilege to serve for His purposes and His glory.
