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. Before arriving at Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church in 2020, Eric served in churches on Vancouver Island, in Boston, and in Wisconsin. 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.
