Pastor Erick Graham

Pastor Erick Graham enlisted in the Army in 1992 and served our country for six years as a private, working his way up to Specialist. With a passion and love for God’s word, Erick pursued a bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministries and graduated from ETBU in 1999. Erick has been the Pastor of Sand Springs Church in Athens, TX, since 2003. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Christy Graham, and recently celebrated their 30th anniversary. God blessed them with two sons, Caleb and Luke, and in 2022, their family grew when Caleb married his wife, Emily, adding a daughter-in-law to their family. After surrendering to the ministry in 1994, God has molded Erick into the man he is through serving as a youth minister, missionary, Pastor, and Chaplain. He has traveled to Africa, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, and Ukraine on mission trips, and in the U.S., he has spread God’s word for more than 15 years through Horse Sense demonstrations (breaking a horse while presenting the gospel) in Texas, Idaho, Michigan, and Nevada. Erick is passionate about spreading God’s word not only abroad but also in his hometown and county, where he serves as the Chaplain for Henderson County Peace Officers Association. Erick also loves to share his talents of drawing, singing, and playing the guitar and mandolin with his friends and family, as well as his joy for fishing and hunting.
