The Rev. Dr. Eric Lemonholm, known as "Pastor Eric" or just "Eric," lives in Rockford with his wife Mindy, where Pastor Eric was the pastor at Good Shepherd for 15 years, until Good Shepherd became the Good Shepherd YMCA and welcomed a new congregation of young families to worship in their chapel. He was the 'interim pastor' here at Trinity for 5 years until we finally called him as pastor. Pastor Eric has also served as a police chaplain in Rockford for the past 10 years.
