Lauren Smith
Frontend Developer
I was fortunate to discover my passion for web development back in the 8th grade (14.4 modems back then) and have been entrenched in it ever since. Being able to serve the ministry with my passion for everything web is a dream of mine and working with Church Plant Media has allowed that dream to come true. I'm appreciative to work with such an amazing team that really puts their heart into each and every project that they do.
Basic Stuff: I've been married for just over 1 year now and we have 3 dogs. We recently moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and have really enjoyed experiencing actual seasons (Dallas only goes from hot to mildly hot). I started my web development career back in 2003 and have been loving it ever since.
Education: Studied Digital Media at John Brown University
Primary Work Responsibilities: XHTML, CSS and Javascript for all partner sites.
Interests and favorites:
- Places: Colorado, Oregon, Seattle, anywhere cold and snowy
- Music: Anything Country (born and raised in Texas, what can I say)
- Books: Hatchet, Into Thin Air, The Twenty-One Balloons, anything related to CSS, JavaScript, or PHP
- Sports: Fairweather Dallas Cowboys fan
- Movies: Waterworld (yes I love this movie), Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Donnie Darko, Cool Runnings, Batman Begins, 7 Years in Tibet, A River Runs Through It, Snatch, mostly anything with Will Ferrell

- Other loves/hobbies: Spending time with my wonderful family and friends, everything Apple, DIY projects around the house, Xbox
- Bit of Randomness: I've never owned a car that wasn't a Jeep; our amazingly lazy labrador was named after Eli Cash in The Royal Tenenbaums
- Scripture: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. - Matthew 6:33
