From our Pastor

Pastor Eric Falker has served Houghton Grace and Painesdale United Methodist Churches since July 2020.  Originally a civil engineer, God called Pastor Eric to youth ministry in 2003.  In 2014, he became a licensed local pastor, and 2019, he earned his MDiv from United Seminary.  Currently, Eric is a commissioned elder in the United Methodist Church.
A life-long United Methodist from East Tawas, Michigan, Eric and his family love the outdoors and the seasons in Michigan.  When not out on the water windsurfing or lost somewhere in God's beautiful creation on a skiing or hiking trail, Eric can be found playing piano and singing, reading, or playing board games.
