“The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

Psalms 37:23-24

My name is Jarell Smith, and I am the Youth Director at Victory Apostolic Church! I enjoy using my gifts and skills to help build the next generation of young people to be the spiritual leaders of our community. My family and I have been members of Victory since 2007 and in January 2009, I accepted Christ as my personal Savior. I have been connected to Victory since the age of 12 and have been involved in church my entire life. In addition to my role as Youth Director, I also serve as the Director of our young male mentoring ministry (Young Men of Valor Mentoring).

My current spiritual charge is to focus on rebuilding family relationships and establish the spiritual foundation that brings young people to Christ. It is equally important to my charge to be a guide for this generation in maintaining their zeal for serving God, His people and the purpose of their lives. As a mentor, coach, teacher and preacher I am so determined to be the light in the world for the glory of God! I am married to my beautiful wife and high school sweetheart, D’Anna Smith. She gets all of my love and most of my attention. Every day I strive to do the will of the Lord for my life and further advance the kingdom of God in every way he leads me.
