Meet Eric Livingston
Serving as State Pastor since 2009 after 22 years at Shorewood Church of God, Eric’s heart beats for church growth and community impact. His belief in the power of healthy leadership reflects in his dedication to mentor pastors and church leaders. As a certified emotional intelligence coach and co-author to material on Emotional Intelligence and healthy leadership, he continually guides individuals towards effective leadership. Away from pastoral duties, he cherishes family time with his wife, Lisa, their daughters, and five grandchildren. A musician, worship leader, speaker, and most loved, a “Pa-pa”, Eric’s journey is one of faith, leadership, and love.
