Who We Are

Our Mission

Cutting EDGE Ministries is a multi-denominational ministry that works in the public schools to connect students with the gospel of Jesus Christ and a local church.

We do this through Public School Campus Clubs, Equipping Youth Leaders, and Providing Gospel Sharing Resources.

EDGE Clubs are formed by student leaders who commit to becoming campus missionaries through starting an EDGE Club on their campus and inviting their friends. Guest speakers, such as area youth pastors, are allowed to come in and share the gospel every month at the invitation of a student. Because of EDGE Clubs, students are given a chance each month to give their lives to Christ there in the public school.

Robert "Bob" Smith

Board Treasurer

I was born in Alaska and raised in an agricultural community in Arizona. I attended Northern Arizona University (NAU) in lovely Flagstaff and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Air Force in May of 1985. I served as a finance officer for seven years and separated after my deployment to Desert Storm. When leaving the Air Force, I became a Financial Advisor and after 26 years I’m still serving my clients and the Body of Christ as a Financial Advisor. During my transition from the Air Force, Jesus captured my heart and I’ve been walking with Him since that faithful night in 1991. Following my call, I completed graduate studies at Liberty Theological Seminary in May of 2016 and was ordained at my local church as an elder/pastor. Today, I serve as an Executive Pastor at Impact Church of NOVA. I am married to Lisa, and we have five adult children. We enjoy the beach the lake and anytime we are together. Lisa plays the guitar for the praise band and is a dedicated disciple, wife, and mother. I enjoy most outdoor activities to include motorcycle riding, snow/water skiing, hunting, hiking and camping. Finally, me and my family are passionate about following Jesus and sharing the hope that resides in us!
