Lauren Smith- Pre-Teen Ministry Associate
Born and raised here in Dallas, Lauren grew up involved in her youth group and loved spending time in church and missions. She took that love down to the great city of College Station, where she graduated in 2002 from Texas A&M with a Business degree in Marketing, after spending summers working at Kanakuk Kamps. After college, Lauren felt called into full time ministry and attended Dallas Theological Seminary and received a Masters in Biblical Counseling in 2005. Her love for students and ministry led her to move across the country to Charlotte, NC where she served as Girls Pastor for 4 years with middle and high school students at Forest Hill Church. It was there she acquired a love for sweet tea, southern accents and college basketball but recently moved back to Dallas to be closer to her family and friends. She is currently pursuing her professional counseling license while working with the preteens at FBC. When not at work, you can find her cheering on the Cowboys/Mavs/Aggies, training to run a half marathon, or trying to keep up with her dad on the golf course.
