The Reverend Jacob Smith is the Rector at Calvary – St. George’s Parish and the co-founder of Mockingbird. Jacob graduated from the University of Arizona in 2000 with a BA in History, with an emphasis in Near Eastern Studies, and received his Masters in Divinity from Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry. Serving in the church where Alcoholics Anonymous was born, he aims to display Christ to the vulnerable. Jacob’s passion for the Gospel is clearly seen through his preaching emphasis on law and gospel—that God’s law condemns, but His grace moves us to love God and our neighbor—is a consistent message to the congregation of Calvary – St. George’s.
