Erik, Christine, and Maddie Brunk

Erik Brunk has been commissioned by Suntree Grace Brethren Church, Melbourne, Fla. (Jason Brown, pastor) to serve in any capacity needed at Brooksville, Fla., Grace Brethren Church.

The Brooksville congregation has been searching for a pastor since the retirement of Pastor Bill Smith earlier this year.

Erik is currently a student at the Antioch School of Church Planting and Leadership Development and has walked through an extensive process of discipleship with the Suntree GBC team of elders-overseers. Currently, he is filling the pulpit at Brooksville and working to help the church develop a team of elders.

Erik and his wife Christine have taken teaching positions in a Spring Hill Christian school, near the church. Suntree GBC will continue to support Erik both prayerfully and financially as a part of their local missions budget for the remainder of this year and/or until the church at Brooksville has voted and found a pastor.
