He became a staff pastor in June of that same year, serving as a preaching and teaching associate until mid- 1984, at which time he became co-elder/pastor alongside Dallas E. Henry, and they served together as co-pastors, through thick and thin, for 32 more years, until early in 2016, at which time pastor Dallas retired. Pastor Eric now serves as solo pastor. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Bible theology from International Seminary, and did graduate studies in Church Growth and Health at the New England branch of California Graduate School of Theology. Pastor Eric also loves music and has released several albums through the years, and seen some of his songs published nationally.
