Minister
Pastor Bruce Ervin was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, but Indiana was the second of the 49 states that he’s been in, so he’s happy to consider himself an adopted Hoosier. An ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Canada for more than 35 years, he has served ministries in Mooresville, Bloomington and Martinsville, Indiana since returning to the Midwest in 2011. History, baseball and travel are among his passions. He is honored to be serving as the Pastor here at First Christian Church-Bedford.
