I was born a preacher's kid and like many PK's had to find my own way. God's promise to never let go was apparent in my spiritual development. No matter how far I ran, I always ended up in his loving embrace. I grew up in Laramie's First Christian Church starting in 9th grade. I married my wife, Jenna (a Laramie FCC lifer), and began a family. I find challenge and passion in serving our Lord, sharing the gospel, and leading high school kids in their walk with Christ. During business hours you can find me making copies for the University and helping college students to grow outside the classroom.

I grew up in Colorado Springs in a Christian home.  From a young age, I committed my life to following Jesus Christ.  Growing up, I attended a variety of churches of various denominations.  As I grew older, at times I may have drifted, placing more focus on college or career than I did on my faith.  Every experience in our lives should be something we can learn from though, and Jesus is always there whether we're safely in the fold or acting like a wandering sheep. 

My wife, Courtney, and I were married in 2006.  In 2010, we moved to Laramie with our newborn son Reuben.  Since then, we've had two daughters, Esther and Carrigan.  

Hello! My name is Leif Erickson. I have been a member at First Christian Church for 7 years but attended for a year before joining.  I was born and raised in Laramie. I was raised in a home with values, but not in a Christian home. I started to learn about Christ when I was invited to attend youth group with some friends in high school. I had a lot of questions that I needed answered. 

I started dating my beautiful wife in the fall of 2006 and she helped me understand my questions and was able to help guide me in finding the answers. I accepted Christ as my Savior in the fall of 2006. I have been married for 16 years and have 4 children. I have two sons in Heaven and two sons on earth. God has used my pain to help others deal with pain, grief, and suffering. I am able to meet people where they are in their life. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, boating, and hunting. I am passionate about fishing and love connecting with the Lord outside.
