Pastor Eric McEwan,

Pastor

Pastor Eric grew up in Northwest Indiana with his grandparents and mother Vickie. He has been married for nine years to his charming wife Kate and has two beautiful daughters Grace and Hannah. He attended Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he received his B.A. in Ministry and M. Div. Eric is passionate about communicating the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to transform lives and culture, seeing that God delivered him from fifteen years of addiction.

Pastor Gary Hofmeyer,

Pastor Gary was ordained in the Reformed Church in America in 1977. He graduated from Western Theological Seminary and retired after 38 years in the ministry. Pastor Gary transferred his ordination to the Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians in 2015.
