Pastors & Staff

Robbey Smith

Lead Pastor 

I am here to tell people about Jesus, love my wife, leave a legacy of faith in my family.  I do this by following Jesus, preaching the Bible, praying with complete strangers, and setting an example for my family to follow.  Of course that provides them lots of opportunity to give me grace.
