Pastor Dirk Gieser and his family joined the ministry of ERC in 2014

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

This verse has guided me for many years.  It has lead me down a very interesting path which has brought my family to an amazing church.  I have a degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering, and received my seminary degree (M.Div) from Asbury Theological Seminary in KY.  Following God's call, my wife Jennifer and I served with Food for the Hungry, including three years in Bolivia.  I was part of many styles and types of churches before coming to the Reformed Church in America in 2004.

When people are growing spiritually, every aspect of their life is improved because they are moving toward their God-given potential.  Anyway that I can be used to help this growth is awesome, and it is a joy to serve in a church with a heart for Jesus and a faith community which is seeking to serve God in the world.

Jennifer and I have three boys, and we love to spend time together as a family.
