Eric is a follower of Jesus Christ, husband, dad, and pastor. He came to saving faith in junior high and sensed God's call to ministry while in high school. He received his B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and then his Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, MA. He was ordained in January 2018. From January 2020 to August 2022, he pastored Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church in Plevna, Montana.

Eric met his bride, Jordan, while she was on a mission trip to Boston. They were married in 2011 and have five children. He enjoys preaching the gospel and worshiping Jesus in song. He loves spending time with his family - playing with his children, camping, road trips, reading together, daily family worship, and eating anything Jordan prepares.

We gather for corporate worship each Sunday. There is a nursery/children's area adjacent to the sanctuary where parents can care for their children's needs. We celebrate the Lord's Table every Sunday at the conclusion of our service. Each week after the worship time we share a fellowship meal over the lunch hour. During the summer season, we gather on Wednesday evenings at the church at 6:.30 PM for corporate prayer and fellowship. The study emphasis this fall is "Shepherding a Child's Heart," a video series by Tedd Tripp. Special events are also planned and scheduled throughout the year as needed.
