“…we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.”
1 Thessalonians 2:8
Thanks for stopping by!
My name is Eric VanderWall. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ and a pastor in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I am a husband and a father. My wife, Kristeen, and I have been married for twelve years. God brought us together and is the center of our marriage. Our desire will always be to serve the Lord together in the church and at home with our four children. Parenting has been an important calling from God in our lives, filled with ups and downs. We give much of our time to raising our kids to become lifelong followers of Christ.
My calling in ministry is to serve families. I enjoy preaching and teaching and will use any opportunity to do so to share the message of Christ. I love the challenge of crafting a message that is applicable and Bible-centered while connecting with all ages at home, church, school, camp, and on retreats. I also enjoy playing tennis, going bowling, exploring the outdoors, and just sitting around on the beach or by a fire.
God has blessed us with so much. I look forward to continuing to give all honor and glory to Him in the opportunities that are ahead.
