Goodness Family Church is led by people who believe in the power of God’s goodness to restore lives.
JOHN & Valarie Smith
Pastors
John Smith
I knew I was called to pastor but didn’t feel ready to lead. When Virgil shared that he felt led to start a new church in Tucson, I was all in. We co-founded what’s now Goodness Family Church.
Valarie Smith
John and I helped start Goodness Family Church, and it’s been an honor to grow with it from the beginning.
Jesse Davis
I had a radical change in my life and felt an urgency to be in church. A trusted friend invited me, and I knew it was time to take the next step. Before that, I was sober but still searching and living in sin. Today I serve as a leader in media and do whatever needs doing.
Joyce Hughes
I was adopted as a baby and raised with two older brothers. At 16, I made some wrong choices, but Jesus met me and changed everything. I came to Goodness Family Church because I was looking for something real. A place that preached the Word without compromise.
Virgil Stokes
I’ve been serving Jesus with my wife since 1980. It’s just been the two of us doing our best to follow His lead through mission work, Bible teaching, and pastoring churches.
