LEADERSHIP
Rolana Smith
Pastor To Women
Rolana joined the PBC family in 2007. She has a background in psychology, counseling, biblical studies, and has previously served as the Middle School Pastor for a decade at PBC. She loves seeing new aspects of God’s character through each person made in his image, and enjoys getting to know different people with vastly different strengths, passions, and perspectives. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Rolana loves ministering here because she can empathize with the challenges of living here, but can appreciate the strengths this area offers. Rolana lives in East Palo Alto with her husband and two young girls. Her hobbies include biking to work, walking with friends, exploring Napa Valley, and coffee. Lots of coffee.
