Hoffmantown's New Senior Pastor

A hearty welcome to our new Sr. Pastor Erik Christensen. Erik was confirmed by the congregation at Hoffmantown Church on October 23, 2011 and assumed his role as Sr. Pastor on Sunday, October, 30, 2011. We welcome Erik and his wife Stephanie and 2 children, Hollen and Jonathan as a continuing part of our Hoffmantown family.

Erik was born on the mission field in Jos, Nigeria to David and Elsbeth Christensen. He attended Liberty University where he played baseball, was saved, and met and married Stephanie, the daughter of Wayne and Diana Barber. It was also at Liberty that Erik was called by the Lord to serve Him in the ministry. After earning a Biblical Studies degree, Erik began his ministry journey in TN where he served as a youth minister. He and Stephanie moved throughout the South until being called to serve as Senior Pastor at Poplar Springs Baptist Church in GA in 2002. During this time he was mentored by Dr. Spiros Zodhiates. In 2007 the Lord moved the Christensen family to Casa Grande, AZ where Erik served as Senior Pastor until receiving the call to Hoffmantown in 2010 as the Equipping and Associate Teaching Pastor. Erik and Stephanie have been married since 1992.
