- Eric Erikson
- Interim Senior Pastor
- pastorfpc@sbcglobal.net
Our interim pastor, Eric Erickson joined us October 12 and led his first worship service with us October 18. Eric and his wife Norie live in Columbus, and he will commute to FPC during his time with us. Rev. Erickson has pastored congregations in New Jersey, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Indiana during his career. He concluded his career as stated clerk of presbytery and as pastor of Spencer Presbyterian.
Eric reports that he has enjoyed immensely being a minister and enjoys it equally in retirement, during which, in addition to presbytery work and occasional interim service, he prays a lot while fishing in the little lake on which they live, visits children and grandchildren, travels to wherever Norie tells him she wants to go next, and has it in mind to write a bit.
