Pastor Phil Erickson
Pastor Erickson has been the pastor of Jersey Shore Baptist Church since 2002. Having grown up in Ocean County, Pastor Phil has always had a burden for the south Jersey area. After graduating from Bible College in Longview, Texas, he and his family moved to Galloway Township with the vision of digging in and serving the Lord and the people of Atlantic County.

Daughter number two, Samantha, and her husband Justin Mears have two daughters (Selah and Emmerson) and are serving together in the youth ministry here at the church. Hannah is the youngest daughter, and is still at home with mom and dad.
