Preacher in a Can

Update: 28 October, 2026: The website appears to now be inactive.

"Canned, but never stale." Joel D. Smith of Thomasville, North Carolina, is a Christian Academy school teacher and is the Preacher in a Can. The presentation looks silly but Smith is a legitimate supply preacher primarily in the State of North Carolina. He leads retreats, seminars, revivals, and serves as a guest speaker, interim pastor, vacation replacement, etc. and has available hundreds of previously prepared sermons from which churches can choose. He also can prepare sermons for specific needs.

On his website (http://preacherinacan.com ) Smith lists his employment and educational history and his Top 10 Beliefs; conservative, trinitarian, and evangelical.
