Eric joined the team at Hope in May 2025 after serving a year as a missionary in Catania, Sicily. Prior to his year on the mission field, Eric served as an Associate Pastor of a church plant that is still growing and thriving, worked on a college campus in Kentucky, and even spent some time in the business world working for a public record research firm in Michigan.
Eric comes to Hope with a deep burden to see the American Church become all that Christ has called her to be, personally and corporately. Acts 1:8 reminds us of the responsibility that we have to be witnesses, and as Pastor of Engagement, it is Eric’s prayer to see everyone at Hope become everyday missionaries right here in our own neighborhoods while partnering with missionaries and organizations who are reaching the nations for Christ. As Pastor of Young Adults, Eric leads our young adult community to know Jesus more intimately, grow together in community, and go serve the world as an overflow of Christ’s love for us.
Eric is married to Rebecca and they have three amazing children: Moriah, Isaiah, and Eden.
