Jenny Smith moved with her family to Alaska at the age of 9 and found plenty of opportunities to serve her United Methodist church despite her age. In time, this preacher’s kid felt a strong call to ministry herself and became a United Methodist pastor. She says Alaska is an appointment with some special challenges but Rev. Smith has learned how to help people find a church home far away from their families in the lower 48. “There’s naturally something about isolation that causes you to choose something to depend on. And so for many, that ends up becoming God,” says Smith.
