It will be 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10. The public is invited to attend.

Smith has been traveling in ministry with his family since 2009, proclaiming the love of Christ through his music. Before launching his own ministry, Smith wrote songs for other gospel artists.

His song, “My Home,” became a No. 1 hit at many radio stations across the country. He has released a total of 10 studio albums, more than 18 radio singles and a “Live” concert DVD and currently has two more projects in the works.

Smith grew up influenced by different styles of music, but his primary interest has always been southern-country gospel. His newest release, “My God Can Do Anything,” features newly written songs as well as some of his older songs that have been re-recorded.

Smith and his wife, Kelley, have been married for 31 years and have two daughters. Kerri, the oldest, is an elementary school teacher and was married in 2022. The youngest daughter, Kasey, was married in 2020 and lives in Maryland.  She and her husband, Andrew, have a baby boy named Greyson.

Michael and Kelley are members of Big Emory Baptist Church in Harriman, Tenn.
