Josh Smith

LEAD PASTOR

Hi! I'm Josh, and I’ve been following Jesus since I was six years old. My journey has had its twists and turns, but Jesus has been faithful every step of the way! I’m blessed to be married to my elementary school sweetheart, Jamielynn, and together we’re raising two amazing daughters.

Serving as the pastor of Arroyo Church in Livermore is a dream come true! I grew up in the Tri-Valley, so this place will always be home, and I’m deeply committed to our community.

During my free time, you can usually find me hanging out with friends, watching the 49ers or the Warriors, or enjoying a good movie. I would describe myself as an extroverted extrovert, so if you ever feel like having a conversation, I'd be more than happy to connect and learn more about your story. Please feel free to reach out to me via email anytime at josh@arroyochurch.com

ELDER BOARD

Each member of our elder board meets the qualifications for elders found in Titus 1:5-9 and 1 Timothy 3:1-7. The elders shepherd the church body, steward its resources, and provide support and accountability for our Lead Pastor. Our elders also serve as the board of directors for Arroyo Church since every non-profit corporation is required by law to have a board of directors.
