Since 2011, Erik Spohr has served as the Lead Pastor of Centerville Christian Fellowship. Originally from Michigan, Erik began pastoral ministry in 2003 and has pastored churches in both Michigan and Ohio. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies and Pastoral Leadership, a master’s degree in Theological Studies (Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary), and a Doctor of Ministry degree in Applied Theology (The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary).

In addition to serving CCF, Erik is the Director of Pastoral Development for the Greater Dayton Association of Baptists. He also leads the Dayton–Cincinnati Region of the Pillar Network (a global church planting and revitalization network).

Next to following Jesus, Erik’s greatest joy is being married to his wife, Tara, and father to their four children: Jack, Anderson, Eliza, and Isabel. He lives in Dayton with his family and their beloved Irish Setter. When time permits, Erik enjoys golfing, cycling, and exploring new places with his family.
