About Garrett Smith

My wife Nici and I are the parents of three wonderful children, Daliya, Zachary, and Ilana. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, and my wife comes from the country of Namibia in Southern Africa. We were married out in the middle of the desert in Namibia.

I was raised Jewish, and became a believer in Jesus while I was living in Israel about twenty five years ago. We raise our children in both the Jewish and Christian worlds as my wife comes from a Jewish background as well.

I am the pastor of Newton Covenant Church (www.NewtonCovenant.org). I also have a ministry working with Jewish interfaith couples (www.garrettrsmith.com) and a book, Comfortably Jewish: Practical Ways To Enjoy Your Family Heritage.

I have a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Masters of Divinity degree from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts in Business/Economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
