Elder Shelby T. Smith was baptized in Jesus name December 13th, 1970 and received the Holy Ghost December 3rd, 1972. His first Pastor was M. M. Arnold, father of former Pastor Jonathan D. Arnold. He's been treasurer for many years, also an elder.
He doesn't say much, but is a highly respected man of God.
Elder Smith was born in Ely, Kentucky in 1937, married in 1962 to now pastor of Calvary.
He's been very faithful to Calvary Apostolic Church and it's former pastor. Elder Smith took the first step in getting baptized, after attending church for nearly two years. The next day his wife, (Judy E. Smith, now Pastor) got baptized. Both have been serving Jesus faithfully ever since.
Elder Smith not only is a faithful man of God, but a faithful husband and family man. He worked at Ford Mo Co. for nearly 43 years, in spite of his breathing problems with chemicals. We need more men like him to be examples to others.
