Bishop Victor Paul Smith
Victor was born on December 15, 1935 in Los Angeles, California--the third son of the late Bishop Joseph C. Smith, Sr. and Celina C. Caldwell Smith Conic. He received his secondary education in Los Angeles, graduating in 1954 from Thomas Jefferson High School. It was in high school that he became interested in printing and later attended Los Angeles Trade Technical College, pursuing a career in printing. He also attended Los Angeles City College for two years. He later attended Los Angeles Bible College (BIOLA), Moody Bible Institute and Georgia State University. Victor received a Bachelor of Science Degree in English Bible from Beulah Heights Bible College and a Master of Arts Degree in Ministry in May 2000 from Luther Rice Seminary, Atlanta, Georgia.

Victor was raised in the church, and he was involved in the Sunday school, the Holiness Young People's Union and the choir. On a Sunday night in September 1955, he came down from his place in the choir, as they were singing:
"Oh Why Should I be Lost? So careless meet my doom? I hear the loving voice, inviting me to come. Yes, whosoever will, may freely come to God: 'Tis mercy calling still, Come sinner to the blood."
With this song ringing in his ears-and the Spirit speaking to him from Revelations 3:20, "Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him; and he with Me." Victor gave his life to the Lord as he responded to his heavenly Father's invitation.

After serving in the armed forces where he heard the call to ministry, he moved to Chicago to take on the responsibility of managing the National Publishing House of the Church of Christ (Holiness) U.S.A. While living in Chicago, he met and married his first wife Juanita. His daughter, Vania, was born and he entered the ministry as a preacher of the gospel in 1967.

Paul, his second child, was born in Atlanta in 1971. After several years of illness, his wife, Juanita, went home to be with the Lord in January 1982.
