Senior Pastor
   

Pastor Mike SmithMichael Smith has been a resident of the Niles area since 1972 and is a 1982 graduate of Niles High School.  He is licensed and ordained through the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) and has been in ministry since 1992.  In his teens, he struggled with addictions and believes that is why he has a burden today for people who struggle with the same, knowing from his own experiences that there are no chains that Christ can't break.

Pastor Mike is married to Sherry and they have one son, Sean.  He states, "My wife is my greatest source of encouragement and support next to Christ."  Together, he and his family seek to serve our heavenly Father to the best of their God-given abilities.  Pastor Mike says, "We are so thankful for this loving church family that God has called us to serve and we are excited that you have taken this time to find out more about us.  May this be only the beginning of a great and lasting Christian friendship."
