Sam Heath

Sam Heath (Grad ’14) has been appointed manager of the Equal Justice USA Evangelical Network, a platform for faith leaders across the political spectrum who seek to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that are rooted in the values of racial equity, redemption and healing.

Heath, an educator by profession, is an elder at Trinity Presbytery Church in Charlottesville where he has been the coordinator of major educational conferences, including Race: Unity in Diversity, which came in the wake of the so-called Unite the Right Rally in 2017. He also founded and co-chairs a Multiethnicity Ministry Team tasked with helping move Trinity to be an increasingly multi-ethnic organization in both its color and culture.

Equal Justice USA is a national organization working to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma. Our Evangelical Network unites Evangelicals under a bold vision of justice transformation, so that violence is rare and every community is safe and healthy.
