Nikisha D. Smith was born in Cleveland, Ohio and spent her childhood years in Lorain. She was
first saved and water baptized at Church on the North Coast, in Lorain, where she volunteered in
the Children’s Ministry. After high school, she attended Bowling Green State University and
received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.
During her college years she rededicated her life to Christ and joined a non-denominational
church where she volunteered in intercessory prayer, housekeeping, and dance ministry. She
also served as president of the Christian Outreach Bible Campus Ministry at BGSU where she
was baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. After college, Nikisha
moved to Toledo to begin her career in education as a elementary teacher.
In the church, Nikisha served in a variety of roles. She assisted her husband as youth leader, and
was later promoted to Department Head over Drama and Dance. She was also the Assistant
Department Head of intercessory prayer, and volunteered in altar ministry, praise and worship,
local outreaches, and taught adult classes.
In 2005, she represented Ohio in the Miss Christian America Pageant in Long Beach, California,
and won the national title of Mrs. Christian America. Today, Nikisha is in her 19th year of
teaching elementary school, having earned a master's degree in educational leadership from
Wright State University. She is also assisting her husband in the great work God has called them
to in the Dayton area as music director, with their son.
