Other Things About Me:

I'm 30 and married to my wonderful wife Laura. We have two great daughters: Hannah Grace (5) and Hillary Faith (4). I've been doing children's ministry for almost 10 years and love it. It's a real blessing to be able to get paid to serve in a local church and do what you love.

I also run a children's ministry website: minister2kids.com If you get a chance go check out Minister2Kids there are tons of downloadable products, books, worship products, music, etc. It all got started as a hobby and quickly grew.

And, I love CM Connect because it's the only place I can have a profile page that is www.cmconnect.org/profil/JonSmith AND there isn't any numbers after my name! YIPPIE! I was the first Jon Smith on here!
