Treasurer (1 person – 1-year term) Gerry Smith
A “Cradle" Episcopalian, baptized and confirmed in the Episcopal Church, I have been a member of Christ the King, Normal, since its formation as a mission in 1978. I have also served Christ the King as Senior / Rector's Warden, Junior / Parish Warden, and youth leader. Other ministries include Lector, Eucharistic Minister, Chalice Bearer, Sunday school teacher, and member of the church choir.
I retired from State Farm Insurance Companies in Bloomington after almost 20 years as a Software Developer. Prior to that, I was the Electrical Maintenance Director at Clinton Power Station. I also served in the U.S. Navy as an electrician on submarines. My wife, Jenny, and I were married earlier this year. Between the two of us, we have eight children and 11 grandchildren which keep us hopping.
I am currently serving in my fourth year as Diocesan Treasurer and have also served at the Diocesan level in several areas. I served twice as a lay member of the Standing Committee and one term on the Commission on Ministry. I have been a Deanery Representative, Synod delegate and Diocesan Council representative and a past co-chair of the Department of Mission. I have also been a lay deputy to the General Convention of the Episcopal Church four times.
