Hello Church Family,

As we continue to look to build our Leadership Pipeline for the future, I am delighted to announce that Eric Babb has accepted an official position on our pastoral staff team as a Part-Time Associate Pastor.

10 years ago...

Eric Babb visited our church, interested in going on a missions trip with us to Joplin, Missouri! To our benefit, he never left!

Eric quickly found a home in our church, joined the leadership and launch team for our grand re-opening in September of 2014, and one month later was married here to the love of his life, Jessica.

Eric's passion for God and serving was noticed right away as he jumped quickly into being part of the Student Team, and in 2018, was named Life Groups Director, while together, Eric & Jessica stepped in to join the team of elders.

Sensing a call from God...

...to leadership and further ministry, Eric attended 'Free Grace Bible College' (Elk River, MN) in the fall of 2021, received his general license for ministry with Harvest Network in June 2022, and recently graduated from 'Free Grace' on June 2, 2023, with an Associates Degree in Christian Leadership and Ministry!

Eric's new pastoral role will include supportive administrative and pastoral duties, oversight of our website and tech teams, and leadership coaching, while still continuing to serve as our Life Groups Director and on the Elders Team with his wife Jessica.

Aside from his passions...

...at church, Eric has been working in the grocery industry since 2005, currently serving as an Assistant Store Director for “the Greatest Grocery Store in Princeton" - Coborn's as I often joke about, a role he will continue to serve in bi-vocationally.

Thank you for your support and prayers in the months ahead as we continue to build a strong and healthy leadership team for the future of our church and ministry!

Again, join me in welcoming Eric officially to our pastoral team!

The best is to come,
- Dennis Calhoun, Lead Pastor
