Moe Smith

Lead Pastor

Pastor Moe was born in Bakersfield, CA and raised at Bakersfield’s Olive Knolls Church of the Nazarene. He is an ordained elder in the church of the Nazarene and has served in ministry for the past 15 years in various roles, from youth to young adults to now, lead pastor. Previous pastoral positions include Olive Knolls Church, in Bakersfield, and SLO Naz, in San Luis Obispo. He is married to his beautiful wife, Tara and together, they have three children, Paisley, Brixton, and Hallie. Moe enjoys all things outdoors—surfing, hiking, camping, and climbing. A day exploring the beach with the family is his favorite kind of day.

His motto in life and ministry is “victoriously united.” He believes we’re truly at our best when we’re doing life together authentically for the sake of the kingdom.

Moe’s favorite passage of scripture is Hebrews 12: 1–3.
