Our Patriarch, Perry Anderson Smith, III, has finished his incomparable journey.
He lived a life of service to others. He was a leader in the civil rights movement, a pastor for 52 years at First Baptist Of North Brentwood and a lecturer at Howard University School of Divinity.
He was a husband, a brother, our oldest cousin, a mentor and confidant to many. But most of all he was a friend of God.
We will miss him dearly.
Hi Family,
COVID-19 is still an unfortunately reality this year. As a result, we would like to do something to acknowledge, as well as honor, our rich heritage — while remaining safe! Physical contact as a family still isn’t the best option this year but, we still want to get your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas on what can be done. Please think outside of the box and consider anything that can be done safely and/or virtually (games, Zooms, Social, Group calls, etc). We are totally open to your creative ideas!!!
Please share the word with other family members!!! Thank you in advance for your understanding and assistance!!! Stay well and safe!! 🙏🏾❤️💯
This Sunday, July 12 @ 10 AM CST, please join us for a virtual church service at First Baptist Church Capitol Hill.

Hi Everyone, I hope this holiday season finds you well.
I wanted to let everyone know that Perry had a fall and broke his hip. He had surgery yesterday and everything seems to be going OK. He says this is the first time he’s broken anything in over 85 years of living!
Keep him and Connie in your prayers.
— Much love, see you in NYC 🙂
