Carol Smith - Director of Music & Adult Handbell Director

E-mail Carol

As a Baptist minister’s daughter, I grew up in the church and accepted Christ as Savior at the age of 8 years old. Church music has always been a part of my life, and at the age of 16, I became our church organist. During this time as organist, I felt God calling me to devote my life to serving Him through music.
I received a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from the University of South Carolina and a Master’s degree in Education from Francis Marion University.
My husband, Rick, and I have two children, Ricky and Laura, a daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, and a grandson, Brian.
During the last 37 years, I have served as church organist, pianist, music director, or youth director. I am also a public school music teacher and presently teach at Gallman and Reuben Elementary Schools in Newberry. God is at work at Wightman, and I am excited to be a part of a church energetic for Christ! My prayer is that God will be exalted through these important ministries.
