Eric Lam

Lead Pastor

Eric graduated in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies from Ozark Christian College. During his time in school, he was an active part of the church he attended in Vienna. He is married to Heidi, a special education teacher, and they have one daughter, Clara. Eric loves to share the Gospel with others. He has preached through Pulpit Supply all over the southern Illinois area. The thing he enjoys most is spending time with his family on their farm. He loves hunting and fishing, riding four wheelers, hiking, and playing golf. He loves reading and studying theology and is excited to see how God is going to use him here at the First Christian Church of Herrin, leading and teaching the students of this Church. His greatest passion is to share the love of Jesus with others and watching the Holy Spirit work by changing hearts and building faith.
