Dr Sam Bloore
Senior Teaching Fellow and Residential Host
Sam Bloore is deeply passionate about the intersection of faith and culture, in particular how individuals establish and enhance
a personal spirituality that is stable and sustainable. Sam grew up in Dargaville,
and after graduating from medicine and bioethics at Otago University, worked as a doctor for five years in Emergency Medicine and Psychiatry.
In 2002, he began a gradual career change, and over the next few years Sam joined the staff of his local church and completed a Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology. He is now working towards a Doctorate of Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary. Sam and his wife Julia oversee the residential life of the Fellowship and are committed to developing the conversations and community practices that provide opportunities for growth and formation. Their three young children, Eden, Benjamin, and Sophia, take up most of their spare time!
