Our church is blessed with a dedicated team of pastors, elders, and deacons who serve with prayer, care, and leadership. Together, they guide our congregation, support ministries, and help meet the spiritual and practical needs of our church family.

Eric’s wife, Tara, has been a member of our church since she was a teenager. Together, they are parents to two daughters, Abi and Hannah. Outside of work and ministry, Eric can often be found on the soccer field coaching his daughters, teaching them not just the game, but also important lessons in confidence, teamwork, and perseverance.
