Pastor Eric Collom
Pastor Eric grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah where he spent the majority of his younger life. At the age of 20, after moving to Southern California, he began to see that there was more to life than simply living for himself. It was then that the Lord began revealing His love to Eric. May 20th 1990 was the day that Eric gave his life to Jesus asking Him to be his personal Lord and Savior. It was shortly after this that Eric’s journey with Calvary Chapel and his heart for teaching God’s word began. In plugging into Horizon Christian Fellowship in San Diego, Eric’s faith began to grow. Soon after, he was enrolled in the School of Evangelism. It was through this school and teaching at a senior care facility that Eric fell in love with sharing God’s word. Eric also attended Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, California. He then worked as a youth pastor for 15 years, first in Lake Havasu Arizona, then followed by San Mateo and Menifee California.
At the age of 36, Eric felt God’s call to step out in faith to plant a new church here in Eagle, Colorado. Pastor Eric and his family moved to Eagle in March of 2006 with the vision of planting a new church. With four people meeting on a Friday night in their town house, they watched God faithfully begin a great work of the Spirit. Eric is the founding Pastor of Calvary Christian Fellowship, the main teaching Pastor, and the President of the Board of Directors. But most importantly, Pastor Eric has a passion for seeing people grow in the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, for seeing people come alive in their upward call. He loves his beautiful family having been married for over 21 years., and is blessed with 2 wonderful daughters. His other passions include fly fishing, photography and staying fit through outdoor activities.
