Eric de Leeuwerk is a New Jerseyan by birth and now, years later, by choice. Following the Lord’s leading, he attended Messiah College and Dallas Theological Seminary, where he was trained and equipped for ministry.

He became a full-time staff member of Grace Bible Church in 2014. Since then, he has enjoyed his time serving in the Junior High, Senior High, and College Group ministries. Additionally, he counts it a delight to deepen relationships with those within the congregation.

Eric loves enjoying shared adventures with his wife, Leslie. They are humbled by God’s kindness in gifting them with twins expected to make their arrival in summer 2021. Eric is ecstatic to be a girl dad!

During his free time, Eric enjoys outdoor activities (especially going hiking and spending time in Ocean City, NJ), a nice cup of coffee, board games, and rooting for the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Tar Heels.
