ABOUT OUR PASTORS

     Spirit Life Church is pastored by Rick Earp and his wife Cindy. They have been and continue to be hard working, called of God, anointed, and devoted leaders of this church for 13 years, and SLC just recently celebrated 10 years since the name to the current name, Spirit Life Church (taken from the scripture John 6:63), was changed. The church felt called from God to change & cast a new vision. They worked hard with the help of some church members and staff to renovate and bring new life to SLC, not only physically through the building construction but also spiritually, having brought a new sense of peace and harmony throughout the congregation that has lasted these few years, which would not have been possible without the hand of God guiding and anointing them every step.

     God called Rick to pastor his first church when he was only 19, and answered the call to preach when he was just 12 years old! He will be celebrating his 38th year as a minister in the Assemblies of God. Pastor Rick continues to be a vessel for God and constantly prays for God’s will above his own and always seeks to live up to the scripture, “We will give ourselves continually to prayer & to the ministry of the word.” (Acts 6:4). He prioritizes a move of God and biblical truth above all else, not only in every church service and pastoral decision but in his personal life, too. The relationship he has with his wife is Christ-centered, and he has always strived to raise his children and grandchildren to know God in a great way.

     The Pastor’s wife, Cindy, walks alongside Rick in ministry and is always there helping him and the church when help is needed. Cindy Earp leads the children’s ministry, helps lead worship, creates and publishes our podcast episodes regularly, organizes events and women’s groups, and takes on many other responsibilities as a secretary and assistant to her husband. Cindy has a very tender heart for God and longs to see lives touched and all generations revived, just like Pastor Rick. She joins her husband in prayer through every mountain and valley that may present itself in the ministry.

     Even after all these years, Pastors Rick and Cindy’s passion for God, this church, and each other has not faded, and they strive to seek God’s will for as long and as much as they possibly can.

     Pastors Rick and Cindy have four children, two sons-in-law, and four grandchildren, all of whom are amazing blessings in their lives.
