William Smith was first called to serve as an elder in 2012. Although William grew up with two Christian parents in Ozark, Alabama and responded to God’s gracious call at a young age, it was not until after college that he recognized the importance of surrounding himself with like-minded believers inside and outside of the church. After moving to Washington, DC in 2001, William discovered Capitol Hill Baptist Church, where his spiritual growth was enhanced through sound teaching and accountability. His desire to study the Scriptures more and teach God’s word has also increased. William currently works on Capitol Hill. He and his wife Diamond reside in Burke with their three children.
