Our Story

How it all started...

Pastor Aaron Smith began his childhood in Southern California, but as a young man his family relocated to the coastal area of Washington State.  In his early 20's he achieved a major personal goal of becoming a firefighter and had a successful 15 year career.  However, an injury to his left shoulder became a significant turning point in his life.  God used a challenging situation to lay the groundwork for transition from extinguishing fires as a firefighter, to igniting spiritual fires in people's hearts as the founding Pastor of The Rock Calvary Chapel in Port Charlotte, Florida.

Pastor Aaron is married to Robbyn Smith who has been a leader in many of the churches ministries including worship, children's ministry, and women's ministry.  Their family is completed by their daughter Elliana.
