Updates from Jason Smith




After graduating, I went to the U of I for two years, then transferred to Lincoln Christian College, where I got married and finished my BA. I served as a youth minister in two churches, one in Lincoln, IL, and one in Indianapolis, IN. I then transitioned to being a worship minister in the church I was working in Indy (and hired Shawn Case to replace me as Youth Minister!) In 2000, I went through a divorce (already having had my two girls, Savannah – 11, and Emma – 10) and resigned from the church I was serving in. I went to work for an audio design/install company based in Columbus, OH. I sold and designed high end sound systems for arenas, churches, schools, theaters, etc. I then met my wife, Ginger (she’s an Indy native and a Purdue grad. She teaches elementary art). She had two boys (Jaden – 8, and Jackson – 7). Now, we’re a “Brady Bunch” of sorts! We were married in Vegas on the 4th of July 2002, and relocated to my company’s home office in Columbus. I accepted a new ministry position in August of 2005, so we moved from Columbus, back to Indy. I am currently serving as the Worship Minister of a church on the west side of Indianapolis. The girls live with their mom in northern KY. We have them every other weekend and the normal vacation/holiday times. They boys are with us mostly, but see their dad every other weekend as well. There are ups and downs, but life is good in the Smith house! Jason's email: jsmith@clermontcc.org
