About the Pastors

Pastors Don & Frankie graduated from Shiloh Bible College in Oakland California. They have served as Pastors since 1980 and have been with The Living Way for 11 years. Pastor Don has a heart for worship and has written many songs and choruses that are enjoyed by many congregations today. They love the people of their congregation, their community, and their ministry and know that God has called them to Concord to share the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ. Their desire is to see people healed in every area of their lives.

Pastor Don Smith, senior pastor of the Living Way Foursquare Church in Concord, believes in being involved in his community. He says, 'if our community is to be safe, friendly, and prosperous, then we need to take an active position to bring positive change. If we are passive we become a part of the problem and not the solution. It is our responsibility to become a part of the solution."

"We need to restore self esteem and self respect to people that by various circumstances have been brought to a place of real need.

They are involved in various non-profit organizations and encourage their congregation to take an active part in their community.

He is also on the board for Loaves and Fishes, a nonprofit organization that feeds the hungry in Contra Costa County. He is involved in the Monument Corridor Community Project in Concord, as well as being a board member for several other organizations that serve the communities of Martinez, Concord, and Antioch.
