Bishop
Smith received and confessed Jesus as his Saviour at an early age. After
spending many years in a highly respected denominational church, serving in
many areas of senior responsibility, he was appointed and ordained as a
Pastor in 1981. He with his wife, Loretta served in that capacity until
1986.
In
1987, because he desired to follow the will of God, Bishop Smith, with
his wife, founded the Radnor Road Christian Fellowship while still

Officer, Bishop Smith retired in May 1996 for full-time ministry as
Pastor of the Radnor Road Christian Fellowship.

years ago he was honoured as one of Bermuda’s most outstanding young people.
In March 1997, Bishop Smith visited Buckingham Palace and
received from Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 2nd the honour of
M.B.E. for service to the Bermuda Government. It was during that same year, in Cleveland, Ohio that
Bishop Smith was consecrated and recognized as Bishop.
