Then on January 1st, 2022, they had a private ceremony to tie the knot and their public ceremony on March 19, 2022. Since married, Bishop Nate was consecrated as Auxiliary Bishop in 2022. Then, in April of 2022, Bishop Nate officially chartered Greater Harvest Community Church and launched services thereafter. Later, Bishop Nate was officially consecrated as Bishop in 2023. .
Bishop Nate works in public education dealing with youth with behavior concerns. He holds an Associates from Andersonville Theological Seminary, has attended many trainings, workshops, and holds certificates and licenses to serve in such a great office.
His pride and joy are his wife and daughters, grandchildren, and the ministry in which God birthed through him. He aims to continue the deliverance ministry God has called him to serve winning souls and helping people get delivered from what has them bound.
Dr. Audrey Smith
Dr. Audrey Dr. McCollum-Smith was born to Mr. Michael Gaines, Sr. and Missionary Cheryl Bonds-McCollum on October 20, 1986. As a child, her mother married Jeffery McCollum, Sr. who adopted her twin sister and her. Growing up in the church under the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) Pentecostal faith, she too knew the hand of God was on her life.
As a part of a ministry, Dr. Smith learned how to pray and was moved of the Holy Spirit to become an intercessor for the Lord. Upon accepting her call to the ministry in 2011, Dr. Smith began working in various ministries of the church and preaching the word of God. In March of 2021, Dr. Smith met Bishop Nate (Pastor Smith at the time) but didn't know who he was. Later on, he found her on Facebook having posted a scripture in her story. From there, they began conversation to learn more of each other. It took Bishop Nate two attempts to get her to date him and eventually she consented. Then surprisingly, on Sunday, August 8th, at Houston's restaurant, Bishop Nate proposed and asked for her hand in marriage in which she said YES! On January 1st, 2022, they had a private ceremony to tie the knot and kept their initial wedding date of March 19, 2022 to make it public.
Dr. Smith is an educator, working with students with exceptional disabilities. She holds an associates, a bachelors, two masters, an Ed.S, and a Doctorate in Theology in Church Leadership and Administration.
Since married, Bishop Nate and Dr. Smith share two beautiful daughters together, Natalia Ariella Jai and Nyla Ayana Jai, who bring so much joy, love, and happiness into their lives.

Above all, Dr. Smith loves the Lord, her family, working in ministry with her husband, and helping and guiding youth to make wise decisions and something great of their lives.
