Minister
Rev. Eric Brotheridge is a fifth-generation minister growing up in a parsonage right next door to his childhood church in Flossmoor, Illinois - a south suburb of Chicago. He now considers himself a Hoosier having lived more than half his life in Indiana after moving here in 1990. He is now residing in Bloomington and attending Indiana University seeking a secondary degree in English. In 1996, he applied to Christian Theological Seminary, receiving the Presidential Scholarship to spend the next four-and-a-half years immersing himself in thousands of years of Judeo-Christian history, tradition and theology. In 2002, he began serving churches, first as a student, then as a senior pastor followed by several interim ministry positions. He has had the pleasure and joy to minister at several churches in central and northern Indiana. He is thrilled to be able to serve First Christian Church as the Sunday Minister! In his spare time he enjoys reading (poetry and fiction and anything good), strumming the guitar and playing video games (RPG’s). When the weather is good he “trains” for running by running a few miles a day. Most importantly, he loves just being “Poppa” for his beloved daughters.
