About David Paul Smith

Senior Pastor and Dad. My consuming passion is to do the will of God, to bring about unity in His body, not just in my own church, but to connect churches and ministers together. I also strive to see marriages and families healed and brought back together while not abandoning the Pentecostal distinctive.

Experience

1. Senior Pastor

   Belvidere First Assembly Of God

   Oct 2015 — Present · Belvidere, IL

   We have been blessed to pastor at B1 for 6 years now, and in that time we have:Tripled in attendance, doubled in giving (nickles and noses, am I right?)Built a church by reaching the lost, not by moving around saints (40% of our regular atendees did not attend church before coming here)Set up and ran the most successful food pantry in our area, feeding over 500 families a week, and being featured on the evening news many times.Set up and ran Addiction Recovery, Anger Mangement and Grief Recovery classes for the members community at large to bring healing and deliverance from life-controling issues.In that context, we have partnered with local prison and police to bring the Gospel and help people escape a life of destruction.Have been members of local community boards such as the local Board of Mental Health to have a Christian voice in our community.Performed marital and pre-marital counseling using a number of clinical tools to help couples prepare for marriage and avoid divorce.Have raised up and discipled multiple ministers and leaders who now head ministries at thier own and larger churches.I have personally been elected to head our local ministers association, connecting churches in our area so that we are stronger together.But most of all we have had powerful services that have felt the prescence and move of God. He is doing mighting things through the people of this church. Because we are here, the entire county has become a point of light in a dark world.
