Pastor Craig Smith, the eldest of two children and a native of New Jersey, was nurtured from birth in the ways of God and the teachings of the Apostolic Faith at The Gospel Light Church of God in Christ Jesus Apostolic Inc., under the auspices of his parents Bishop Stuart and Evangelist Lucille Smith.
Pastor Smith holds a Masters of Theology from Freedom Bible College and Seminary and is now pursuing his Doctorate of Theology. He was ordained to the office of Elder in 2015 and elevated to the office of Assistant Pastor in 2023.
This servant of the Lord has a mandate to honor God in ministry with excellence, taking to heart the scripture, "Let all things be done decently and in order." He has an absolute zeal for God and the things of God, willing to give a listening ear and a helping hand to lead someone to Christ.
Pastor Smith has been married to his beautiful wife Mrs. Nekisha Nelson-Smith for 15 years and together they have two wonderful children, Jaden and Gabrielle. Pastor Smith has experienced God for himself. He has seen what God has done for and through others, so he lives by these words "God is good all the time and all the time God is good."
