Who IS this guy!?! My name is Dave Smith. I’ve been a professor of Bible for the last 3+ decades. I’ve been honored to teach at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wesley Biblical Seminary, Wesley Seminary, Kingswood University (Canada), but principally at Indiana Wesleyan since 2000. Truth be told, I’m a pastor masquerading as a professor. I care for people’s hearts just as much as for their minds.
For the last 42 years, I have been married to Angie. She is a home-maker and a mentor of young women on the Indiana Wesleyan campus. We have two grown children, Joshua (married to Laura) and Hannah (married to Brian). All four are Indiana Wesleyan University graduates, and we have five grandchildren.
Angie and I have pastored two churches; our last role was as solo pastor in Cleveland, Ohio. We loved local church ministry. More so, serving in the local church is a prerequisite for teaching current and future pastors. I also serve in the Wesleyan Church as a Crossroads District Circuit Rider. Just like John Wesley, I travel from Wesleyan Church to Wesleyan Church pouring my life into the life of local church pastors.
I am passionate about the Gospels and Paul’s letters. But I have also done extensive study and teaching in the Hebrew Bible. Angie and I have traveled around the world teaching and doing leadership development. For the last 15 years, we have been working in local Church-based Community Development in Malawi, Africa through Circle of Hope International. Circle of Hope feeds 500 orphans daily, provides for their education through grade 8 and has established governmentally-approved health care for them and the needs of the local community.
Since I recently retired from full-time teaching in the classroom, I have started a new ministry called True^North . It’s a local church Disciple-Making program centered around training people to read, interpret and apply the Scriptures, often in small accountability groups which facilitates life transformation.

**Please remember us in the 2026 Census**

The Australian Census will be held on Tuesday, 11 August 2026.

When completing the optional question about religion, those who belong to the Wesleyan Methodist Church are encouraged to:

**Select “Other (specify)” and enter “Wesleyan Methodist Church.”**

Please use the full wording rather than simply writing “Christian” or “Methodist.” This will help ensure that Wesleyan Methodists are accurately identified and counted in Australia’s Census statistics and will allow our denominational presence to be measured over time.

On Sunday we celebrated 40 years of ministry and service from Pastor Alan and Loris Akers to the Wangaratta WMC. Almost everyone in our church has been impacted and touched by their heart of service and love to others, and despite Alan retiring several years ago, the pace of ministry hasn’t slowed down, with them serving in Playgroup, Kids’ Church, Worship Team, Preaching and Prayer, and occasionally filling in for our Youth Bible studies, as well as our Property and Finance Committee.

We are so grateful to have a church that is made of many parts but contains people such as Alan and Loris who serve so faithfully, humbly, and obediently to God’s calling. We thank them for all they have done in bringing the Gospel to those who they met through their words and actions and inspiring us all to live a life worthy of our calling.

It seems to be the season of farewell for pastors in the WMC. Yesterday I learned of the passing of Rev. Neville Cave. Neville is well remembered for his ministry at Taree WMC (now Rivers) and his significant contribution to the NSW District over many years.

On behalf of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Australia, I’d like to wish my sincere condolences to Marjorie Cave other members of the family.

If you have memories or would like to leave condolences, please do so in the comments.

Lex Akers
National Superintendent
