Lead Pastor: Eric Roseberry

In 2008 Eric and his wife began to sense a call on their life to plant a church. After a time of prayer and assessment they felt led to Lafayette, IN to plant. Eric has a deep desire to see people in Lafayette meet Jesus, and then to have those people live Gospel centered lives on God's mission.
Life Story:
I grew up in Versailles, KY and have been in church since I can remember. However, it wasn't until high school that I started to own my faith, and felt a call from God to enter the ministry. I attended Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO where I met my incredible wife Jessie. Following college we moved to Fishers, IN where I served as an associate minister before coming to Lafayette. We now have two kids, and are excited to see where God is calling us as a family and this new work as a church.
Education:
Bachelor of Biblical Literature (Ozark Christian College)
Master of Arts: Missional Leadership (Resurgence Training Center)

Outside Elder Board
Until City of God Church has developed its own elders to lead and care for the church we are dependent upon outside elders. We currently have three men who are pastors at other churches that meet with the lead pastor quarterly, and also have input in major church decisions. These men are:
Ray Ortlund: Lead Pastor at Immanuel Church in Nashville, TN
Mark Bergin: Lead Pastor at The Painted Door in Chicago, IL
Please be in prayer for these men and their churches.
