Ministry

Bishop Smith began preaching at the age of 7 years old. His mother preserved this gifted passionate assignment of God until the age of 13, allowing him to only preach at home. At age 13, Smith preached publicly in a school play, which initiated uproar in the area. Following the event, in wisdom, his mother turned down offers and invitations for him to go forth in ministry. Pastor Smith confessed to being called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, by hearing the audible voice of God, at the age of 17 years old. He began teaching Sunday school on the pre-school level at age 19. He preached his initial public sermon in 2006, after three years of Ministerial training. Minister Smith was licensed to preach the gospel in 2007.

• Minister Smith’s gifts and callings truly made room for him. As a result of the level of clarity, interest, and knowledge which was brought to teaching, along with his particular style of exhibiting the passion of scripture, Smith rather quickly climbed the spiritual ladder and emerged as one of the superior teachers of Sunday school, and bible study services. By 2008 Smith had become the Administrative Teacher of all Sunday School Curriculums, as well as the Teaching Elder of the Faith Cornerstone Apostolic Intra-denominational Organization Inc. His responsibilities entailed teaching all biblical teachers within the organization. Smith was elected to the position of Assistant Pastor of Faith Cornerstone Church Ministries Inc. in 2008, at the age of 22. Pastor Smith confessed hearing the audible voice of God call him to Pastor in September 2009. Upon receiving theology courses, he was appointed to the office of Elder in 2009.

• Elder Smith established theology of teaching courses at Faith Cornerstone Church Ministries Inc., which were designed to teach ministers and teachers how to efficiently and effectively present information to their audience, and how to provide meaningful concepts concerning their well-being, as well as, how to implement more effective and efficient ways of exhibiting the messages of scripture. Throughout his ministerial career, God has used him through the spirit of Divine Prophecy, healing of the sick, expelling demonic influence, counseling, inspiring the continual efforts of educational desire, evangelizing, etc.
