E.D. Smith Sr.
Senior Pastor, New Greater Calvary Missionary Baptist Church
It is with great joy and humility that I serve as your pastor. My heart's desire is to see every member of this congregation grow in their faith, discover their God-given purpose, and experience the fullness of God's love.
Since joining New Greater Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, it has been my privilege to walk alongside this incredible community. Together, we have witnessed God's faithfulness in ways that continue to inspire and strengthen our faith.
I invite you to join us as we continue this journey together — growing deeper in Scripture, serving our neighbors, and shining the light of Christ throughout Hewitt and beyond.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."Proverbs 3:5–6
Monthly Message
A Word for This Season
Dear Church Family,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we move through this season together, I am reminded of God's unwavering faithfulness to each of us. No matter what challenges we face, His promises remain sure and steadfast.
This month, I want to encourage you to press deeper into your relationship with God. Set aside time each day for prayer and Scripture reading. Allow His Word to be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. When we are rooted in His truth, we are equipped to face whatever comes our way.
I also want to remind you of the power of community. We were not designed to walk this journey alone. Lean on your brothers and sisters in Christ. Encourage one another, pray for one another, and bear one another's burdens. This is the heart of what it means to be the body of Christ.
As your pastor, I am committed to praying for each of you by name and standing with you through every season of life. My door is always open, and I welcome the opportunity to connect, pray, and walk alongside you.
May God bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
In His Service,
E.D. Smith Sr., Pastor
New Greater Calvary Missionary Baptist Church
