Pastor Alex Smith

Pastor Alex serves in the areas of Youth, Education, & Family. He writes, "I am the second of three children to my parents, Willie and Diane Smith. I was born in 1996. I grew up in Denison, Iowa. My family has always been close. When I was a young boy, we almost always ate supper together as a family. 

When I am not at church I enjoy being outdoors.  I also enjoy attending sporting events no matter the level: high school, college, or upper level. I also love being around people; I think that is one of the main reasons I like sports so much; you just get to be around people.
