OUR PASTOR
On May 6, 2007 the Lord blessed the New St Matthew Church with a Pastor who was born and raised here. The Lord has been preparing Elder Daniel X. Smith for such a time as this.
Pastor Smith is a Visionary, Humanitarian and most of all an Anointed Oracle of God. Under Pastor Smiths’ leadership the church has grown spiritually and naturally, Pastor has pushed us above our own expectations of ourselves.
Because of the Lord’s hand resting upon Pastor Smith there has been a great shift within the atmosphere of New St. Matthew many unusual blessings and miracles has taken place. Truly the spirit and the power of the Lord is here, when you visit New St. Matthew you won’t leave tThe way you came in Jesus Name.
