Pastor Joshua Smith and his wife of 22 years, QueLinda Smith look forward to connecting with you and helping you grow in God and grow in life. We love God and we love people of all ages, nations and backgrounds. Our natural family is very diverse, so we also welcome diversity in our spiritual family.

Born into a ministry family and raised on a Pentecostal pew, Josh felt the pull of God into ministry at an early age. He ran from the call for many years! After many Jonah experiences and life-altering moments with God, he decided to run towards Him instead of away. After preaching, teaching, winning souls and ministering for over two decades in a large, multicultural church in various capacities, Josh and his wife QueLinda stepped out of their comfortable routine and began to preach and teach online while simultaneously reaching the city of Elk Grove, a growing city in the Sacramento, CA region.

About the Bible:

The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (See II Timothy 3:15-17.)

About the Gospel:

The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)

About God:

There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.)

About Christian Living:

As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.)

About Sin and Salvation:

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.)

About the Future:

Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (See I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.)
