Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Eric. Some people call me "pastor," others, "pastor Eric," but really, just "Eric" is fine. I'm something of an accidental pastor, although it probably only seemed like an accident. I'm guessing God knew what He was doing. I attended Venture in my teenage years when it was known by a different. The church went through some very challenging times when I was in college, and many people ended up leaving. After a few years of wandering, my wife and I returned to find a pastorless church, barely surviving, with 15 faithful people wondering what plans the Lord had for their ministry in Austintown.
​
It soon became clear to both us and the members of the church that the Lord had plans for us to serve there, so we began providing pastoral ministry. Fast forward to today, and our church family is a faithful group of disciples who deeply love Jesus and want to see Him transform the brokenness and despair of our town with His love and light.

We'd love for you to stop by and grow closer to God.
