Chad Smitch

Hi, my name is Chad. I’m passionate about creating spaces where people can find belonging and experience the hope of Jesus. I grew up in a small town in Arizona. When I was 16 I met Emily at my first job at IHOP...she was the hostess, I was the server. She’s been my best friend ever since. We have four amazing kids… don’t they look great in this picture?  I spent a few years working in Christian radio, then served as a Family Pastor in Albuquerque and later as the Discipleship Pastor at Northeast Bible Church.  Everyday, I’m grateful for that I expense the goodness of Jesus in my life. I’m absolutely committed to helping others experience that same joy and peace.
