Eric was led to the ministry through circumstantial situations in his life and in the life of the church, in which he believes was given by God, He had some 'conditions' that needed to be met, for example a desire to be the Pastor- 1 Timothy 3:1. Once these 'condition's' were met, God worked toward the next step(If you want to find out details, why not go to our contact page and give him a call or an email, he's happy to share with you his testimony) After prayerful consideration and a conversation with Kimberley and some family, friends and Pastors around the country he applied for the Pastorate and was accepted in Feb 2022.
