About My Family

Phil and I are graduates of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. We both hold master's degrees in Christian education with a childhood focus. Phil is from Cookeville, Tenn., and recently retired as a Louisiana Army National Guard Chaplain. I am from Mobile, Ala. Phil and I met in Montgomery, Ala., while he was serving in the Air Force (married in 1991).

We have two sons. Our oldest son, Michael, is married to Susan. They have two sons, Brian (married to Jessica) and Aaron. They have one grandson named Luke and live in Pensacola, Fla.

Our youngest son, Ethan Smith, enjoys the RV life. His home is mainly somewhere out West.

About My Ministry

Phil and I have 40 years of experience in children’s ministry. After graduating from seminary, God made it clear we were to stay and serve Him in New Orleans. We partner with local churches and Child Evangelism Fellowship, training leaders for children’s ministry and Good News Clubs, coordinating evangelistic outreaches and leading preschool and after-school Good News Clubs.

We base our ministry on Deuteronomy 6:4-7; Psalm 78:1-8; and Matthew 18:1-14. “… which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children … ” (Psalm 78:5-6).
