Pastor Francis got saved in Jacksonville NC in 1990 while serving in the Marine Corp. After salvation, God began to pick up the broken pieces of his marriage leading them to plant their lives in the church once Eric decided to get out of the Marine Corp. After serving in various church ministries, including church cleaning, parking lot duties, drama, music ministry, and worship leader, Eric felt the call of God to preach the gospel.
Eric & Wilasinee answered the call to preach in 2014 and relocated to Chicago IL to take over a pioneer church. After faithfully laboring in Chicago for almost four years, Eric returned to serving in the church in Jacksonville NC for a time of redirection. In March of 2019 at the Southeastern Bible Conference in Jacksonville NC, a wonderful door was opened for Eric and Wilasinee to take over the church in Summerville SC.
In August 2020, the church in Summervile was relocated to the Ladson area of Summerville. This move resulted in a wonderful blessing of God upon the church ministry. Not only has God done numerous financial miracles for the congregation, He has truly blessed many of the individuals and families with supernatural miracles as well! Since opening in the new location in Ladson, there have been visitors in the worship services almost every week and there is great excitement about what God is going to do in this congregation!
