Mark J. Smith,
Senior Pastor
Inspired by God, Mark answered the call of God to the pastorate and to pioneer a church in the North Omaha area. His heart is to see people's lives changed through the power of Jesus Christ. He has learned how to apply the prayer of agreement and has seen many people receive miraculous answers from God. He is a genuine teacher of the Word of God and loves to teach others in and out of the pulpit. He knows how to simplify God's Word without diluting it or compromising its true meaning.
He has a hunger for the supernatural power of God and enjoys spending a great deal of time studying the Bible. His famous quotes are "Simple obedience will always remedy any circumstance" and "Obedience will touch the heart of God like nothing else."
He received his ministerial training through Global University and is an ordained minister of the Assemblies of God. He is loyal to God, his family, and the congregation he serves. He is a pastor with a pastor's heart.
​
He was one of the original Commissioners for the Commission on African American Affairs in the state of Nebraska in 2021. He started a radio program called "A Call to Repentance," urging God's people to return wholeheartedly to Him, which he plans to resume.
Mark enjoys reading, singing, fishing, and spending time with his wife.
