Pastor Roger Thangiah fondly known as “Pastor Sammy,” never ever wanted to step into the ministry but God’s plans for him were laid out even before the foundations of the earth. Soon Sammy had a special encounter with the Holy Spirit in 2006 that transformed his life completely. It was during the same time he also received the call of God to serve Him full time. Sammy then completed his Bachelor of Theology from Valley Forge Christian College and in 2010 he stepped into the ministry of FGAG to serve God by the side of his father Rev. Paul Thangiah, our Senior Pastor.
Sammy has a heart for young people and is passionate for them to receive God! He has an anointing for healing ministry and his desire is to see people from all over the world being set free by the power of God. Mission minded, Sammy has travelled to over 45 nations, taking the love of God and the power of God to many different people groups! As Missions Director, he organises short mission trips for the youth for them to experience first-hand the needs of the people and hear their cries personally so that they can give themselves zealously to the work of God.
At present Sammy serves as pastor of the New Generation Service, that reaches out to young people along with his beautiful and charismatic wife Pastor Nicole. Besides preaching and teaching at the NGS, Sammy also visits and oversees all the young boys in the NGS. He takes the youth for outreaches each month where they do public school events and he also regularly takes them to children’s homes around Bangalore City where they share God’s love! In fact it is his desire is to see young people walking with God and making a difference in their communities by showing the love of Jesus!
Sammy is a very vibrant and dynamic worship leader who often leads worship in the English services. He is an effective communicator who uses interesting object lessons that hold the attention of his hearers and conveys his message.
Pastor Sammy has been married to Pastor Nicole, the woman after his very own heart since 2011 and together they are blessed with a son, Malachi James Thangiah a sharp and clever one and a half year old who enthusiastically calls out for the fire of God.
