Lead Pastor - Eric Schall
Pastor Eric is ordained with the Assemblies of God and has served as the Lead Pastor at Creekside since August 2020. He has a passion to see people who don’t know Jesus come into a relationship with Him, as well as to equip followers of Jesus for ministry. He has earned a B.S. in Education and a Master’s in Christian Ministry.
Eric married up when he wed his wife Susi in 1995 and has two awesome children Ally and Josiah who have both earned their Bachelor’s degrees. In addition to being a huge support to her husband, Susi also serves as one of our Pre-K teachers on Sundays.
He is originally from Ohio and loves the Ohio State Buckeyes, pizza, Hawaiian shirts, socks & sandals (pray for him!), and exploring new areas and meeting new people in CB & Omaha. He’s also a sci-fi/fantasy geek (B5, ST, SW, SG, LOTR) and loves a good action flick.
Fav. Music: Elevation Worship and 80's jams

Missions Pastor - KatyBeth Turkson
