Senior Pastor - Brian Erickson
I was born and raised in Rockford, Illinois…you guessed it…I’m a Bear fan. I accepted Christ as my personal Savior at age 6 and grew up in a Christian family attending First Evangelical Free Church. Over the years I served in various lay ministries within the church and in college felt the call to pursue full-time ministry. Eventually I was privileged to be called to serve as a Youth Pastor at First Free doing that for 9 years. Then a position in Adult Ministries opened up and First Free asked me to serve there. I did that 5 years. In 2002 I started feeling the call of God to preach. I put my name out among churches to see where the needs were and prayed about where God wanted me to go. Then I got a call from Lake Wisconsin Church in Lodi and started as their Senior Pastor in October, 2003. I have been married to Jennifer for almost 20 years. I have three children, Leslie, Bob and Al and a black lab named Carol. What a joy it has been to serve the Lord in this God-honoring church!
