Drew Smithson  
       Drew has been serving the youth of Southern California in ministry for over 26 years. He has had the opportunity to youth pastor three different congregations and currently fills the position of Youth Director for the Southern California District of the Assemblies of God. Drew is responsible for Youth Ministries & Twenty Something Ministries. He presides over these ministries throughout the Southern California District which extends from Fresno to San Diego (approximately 450 churches). He also serves on the boards of Vanguard University and Chi Alpha, a ministry to secular universities.

   With the understanding that the largest number of converts to Christ commit themselves before the age of 18, Drew’s passion is to reach teenagers and young adults for the Lord and to equip them to in turn reach their families and friends. Both home missions and foreign missions are a priority that he strives to pass on to each age group he ministers to.
