Pastor Erica was born and raised in Nashville, TN and graduated from Trevecca in 2022 with a Bachelors in Religion (focuses in pastoral ministries, biblical languages, and counseling). She spent 2 years in Georgia serving as the Next Generation Pastor (children and teens) before accepting the call to join our MVC staff as our youth pastor. Pastor Erica will be getting ordained in the summer of 2025! Erica has a passion for making sure every teenager knows and experiences God's unconditional love + grace. This year in FUSE, we are focusing on Identity, Purpose, and Calling. Erica enjoys spending time with her boyfriend (Andrew), her loving weiner dog (Pumpkin), and seeing her family as often as she can. She loves spending time outside, reading, cooking/baking, and spending time with her new MVC friends. God has been so faithful through every step of her story that she defines as "a story of steadfastness, loss, growth, and reconciliation with an author who is Provider, Healer, Redeemer, and Sustainer". Pastor Erica can't wait to see what God has in store for this season/chapter!
