Pastor Erik McDAniel - Secretary

I was born and raised in FL—Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee. Went to High school in Chattanooga and then attended Covenant College on a soccer scholarship.

I have been married to Maggie for almost 28 years. We have 6 children and two grandchildren.

I am a local pastor in Jasper. I graduated from Covenant College with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology with a concentration in Interpersonal Counseling. I have a Master of Arts Degree in Theological Studies from Covenant Theological Seminary and a Master of Arts in Youth Ministry from Birmingham Theological Seminary.

I serve with CRC because it is the type of work Jesus did—proclaiming the good news of God’s kingdom here on earth to people who, like me, desperately need it.
