Gerald Smith Jr. is a Hartford Connecticut native. He pursued higher education by attending Norfolk State University in Norfolk, Virginia. He is currently seeking a degree in Psychology & Biblical Counseling from Ohio Christian University.
Elder Smith has passionately served in ministry for seventeen years. He has traveled to Trinidad and Tobago as a missionary to meet the needs of those less fortunate. He has served as a counselor for Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach, Virginia. That work in ministry gave Smith the opportunity to encourage, counsel, and empower people from all walks of life. The extent of Gerald Smith’s ministerial reach expanded in 2001 when he answered the “call” to preach the gospel. That was the beginning of his elevation of service in the pastorate capacity. Although referred to as Pastor, his official title is Elder.
