New Pastor at Spiritual Streams Fellowship

On Wednesday, December 10th the Spiritual Streams Fellowship church body in Cassville, Missouri voted in their new pastor. Jamie Smith is definitely no stranger to the Spiritual Streams church. She has attended since the church began in 1980. According to Pastor Jamie, they are planning to reach out to the community by way of a food pantry, youth programs, and nursing home ministry. Their goal is to make an impact on the community by reaching the lost for Christ. Pastor Jamie says she's excited to see what God has planned for this church. She also said being a part of COGAF is an amazing adventure and she feels blessed to be in the COGAF family.
