What Other Seniors Pastors' Have to Say About The Pastors' Table:
"If you're lonely and you're overwhelmed continually, it's because you choose to be because there's an incredible group of pastors like yourselves and pastors' wives that get together on a regular basis through Zoom and face-to-face gatherings called The Pastor's Table. It's led by my dear friend, Pastor Steve Smothermon, one of the greatest church leaders in the body of Christ and also one of the most humble men that you'll ever meet and he's put together The Pastor's Table for people just like us who sometimes feel lonely, sometimes feel overwhelmed, and need truly some brothers, a band of brothers to come around us, to help bear one another's burdens, to be iron that sharpens iron, and a place where pastors' wives can gather and talk about the unique challenges that just pastors' wives have." - Pastor Erik Lawson, Senior Pastor, Element Church
"The phone calls, gatherings, and retreats we've had together have been so enriching. The relationships I've developed and the things I've learned—nothing could replace them." - Pastor Rick Burke, Senior Pastor, Cedar Point Church
"I'm so glad to be a part of The Pastor's Table. It's been a really powerful tool of collaboration, coming together, seeing, hearing, and finding out new truths and abilities for the processes of church growth. Many conferences fall short in being able to help with the nuts and bolts of growth in church ministry, and the applications inside—getting a look behind the curtain to really understand what it takes to go to the next step and the next level."
- Pastor Dennis Cummins, Senior Pastor, Experience Church
"How do you handle growth? How do you lead people? All those questions you want to ask at a conference, you're able to ask here and get the answers, while also building relationships. I recommend it to every pastor." - Pastor Brian Johnson, Senior Pastor, Faithbridge Church

Legacy Church extends across twelve campuses, including a global online campus. Additionally, his teachings are shared through local TV broadcasts. His aim is to help everyone understand the teachings of Jesus and experience "the God of another chance."
Before stepping into pastoring, he spent a decade as a UPS driver. This practical experience influences his approach to sharing the Word of God, ensuring the teachings are straightforward and relevant to daily life.
He is also an accomplished author. His books, like Large Large Living in a Small Small World and Big Problems, Bigger God, provide readers with practical strategies for using faith to overcome life's challenges.
Family is central to his life. He and his wife, Cynthia, have been married for over 37 years. They are the proud parents of three children and grandparents to eight beloved grandchildren.
Pastor Steve is dedicated to supporting ministries and organizations that make a difference. His immense respect for those serving in the military, as well as local police and fire departments, is consistently demonstrated through various forms of support and contribution. Under his guidance, the church supports over 100 ministries and organizations, including Make-A-Wish, Operation Smile, and Gideons International. Legacy Church gave away over $3.1 million last year alone.
He is known for his courage and commitment to righteousness and the Word of God. Unafraid to challenge corrupt leaders, he has frequently led the charge on many pressing social issues. His fearless dedication to faith, service, and positive change continues to inspire and make a significant impact.
