Michael Smith
South Campus Elementary Pastor
Our family began attending Beltway, became members in 2012, and quickly jumped into a life group. I served as AWANA Commander, a life group leader, and in Men’s ministry, before joining the Beltway staff in 2016. I worked as the Early Childhood Pastor before taking on the role of Elementary Pastor. I have the pleasure of serving with a fantastic group of people who love the Lord and love kids.
As Elementary Pastor, I get to help children (1st – 5th grades) take their next step with Jesus. We have live worship on Sundays, biblical teaching, bible classes, and we have Wednesday night service and our AWANA Ministry during the school year. Each summer we enjoy our one-week Kids Camp at Bonita Park, NM. God truly does speak to children and use them to show us His heart for all of us.
My wife, Erin, and I have four wonderful children – Abbi, Zoe, Sam, and Ollie. They are each a joy and blessing to us, and show us daily God’s delight in us as His children.
I was born and raised in Waxahachie, TX. I enjoyed baseball, video games, and anything competitive. I was saved and baptized in high school, also dedicating my life to ministry. I graduated from ETBU and received my Masters from Logsdon Seminary at HSU in 2008.
I love being a part of Beltway Park and serving with this staff. Beltway is a place that allows individuals an opportunity to grow in their relationship with Jesus and do that in community. It’s nice to be in a church that takes the BIG, makes it feel small and simple, in order to connect and build community and friendships. I am truly grateful to be in such a spirit-filled, healthy, and fun place.
