Pastors Eric & Juli Smith

Called into ministry as a young teen, Eric Smith graduated from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies. He earned his Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from SUM Theological Seminary in 2023.

Over the past three decades, Eric has served the Kingdom of God as a Youth Pastor, Worship Leader, Senior Pastor, Church planter, author, and Presbyter. Juli Smith, Eric’s wife of 38 years, also attended Central Bible College and Evangel University and has worked alongside Eric in every aspect of ministry. The Smiths have three adult children and three grandchildren.

Eric and Juli were raised in the church, are passionate about God's presence, and their heart is to reach those who need Christ’s saving power and disciple believers into a radical, on-fire relationship with Jesus Christ.

Eric is the author of five books, including his latest, You Will Overcome.
