Patty Smith

Financial Admin

I assist our accounting department at Webster Gardens by working with accounts payable, and assisting with other duties as requested. I’m most passionate about God’s love being reflected in our relationships with one another. One of my functions in the body is to take care of the fine details, which frees others who have the gift of being a visionary and seeing the big picture. I love that the pastors here desire and work toward people encountering God and growing in their faith, while genuinely caring for the people God has entrusted to them. Prior to Webster Gardens, I was a part of the administration team and a bookkeeper for a local prayer ministry for more than 10 years. I also worked in the accounting department for a large downtown law firm for 15 years, and I was a stay at home mom for more than 12 years.

I’m married to my husband, Dave, and we have five grown children: four daughters, one son, one son-in-law, and two grandchildren. Also, my children just happen to be born in alphabetical order! (Jen, Katie, Lisa, Melissa, Nate.) What if God had sent them at different times?! I love to attend my Bible study and learn more about God’s love and the relationship He desires to have with us, so much so that we could be reconciled to Him through his death and resurrection on the cross. There is also something truly great about watching the “puzzle pieces” come together as I, or others, see God’s plan form in our lives and glimpse the amazing love He has for us. In my free time, you can also find me doing puzzles.
