Victoria Smith

Reverend Victoria Smith is a Pentecostal Church of God minister who serves the Lord with her pastor and husband, Reverend Carroll Smith. They pastor Family Christian Center in Tulsa, OK and have three beautiful daughters with a granddaughter on the way.

Her life has been very different than the average pastor’s wife: she did not know of God’s love and saving grace until she was a young adult and was given drugs and alcohol by a parental figure at a very young age. Regretfully, this lifestyle robbed her of her childhood, and she lived a life far from God.

But the Lord had a different plan: one glorious day, He picked her up and put the pieces of her shattered life together as she surrendered her heart to Him.

Today, her heart’s desire is to minister to women and teens though sharing her life experiences and testimony, showing them how God can turn around a life that was in the grip of the powers of hell and completely transform it.
