Learn MoreThe Story
I've been a pastor since I was 21. I pastored in Kansas for nearly a decade, then planted Salt Life Church in South Florida and trained church planters across the region. I served on the senior executive team at Potential Church as campus pastor of Hallandale Beach. I preached at Lagoinha Alphaville in front of 25,000.
In May 2020, during COVID, I was let go from my six-figure executive role. One month later, my wife of almost 20 years filed for divorce — the one thing I always said I never wanted to happen. Everything collapsed at once.
A few months later, I walked into a Brazilian church, Lagoinha Miami, and was asked to help. They made me their pastor. I served there for three years and planted Lake Church Miami. Then I led the executive team at Alpha & Omega, a 7,000-member Latino church in Miami, and pastored its English service. Today I serve as U.S. Director of Imagine Church, a global movement in 16 countries whose mother church in Brazil grew to 8,000 members in six years. I lead our church plant in South Florida and help plant churches across the United States. I married Dr. Tatiana Kingsley, a brilliant Brazilian woman building her own empire, and we have three children. I invest in real estate, build brands, and the comeback story became the foundation of a global movement: Dream Again.

Speaking
Speaking and preaching is my highest-leverage skill. I bring fire, vulnerability, and real talk. Not motivational fluff — real frameworks you can use this week.
Whether it's a Sunday morning, a leadership conference, or a room full of entrepreneurs — I leave people ready to move.
What People Say
Erik doesn't just preach — he reaches into the room and grabs you. Our people were on their feet. He brought a fire that shifted the atmosphere of our entire service. This man carries something different.
I was ready to give up on everything — my business, my marriage, my faith. Erik's message hit me at the exact moment I needed it. I'm still rebuilding, but now I believe the comeback is real.
Erik is the real deal. He led on our executive team, planted churches, revitalized what was dying, and still showed up every Sunday with fire. Raw faith, real talk, zero fluff. He changed our culture.
Every dollar fuels church plants, missions to unreached nations, and resources for people rebuilding their lives. This isn't charity. This is kingdom infrastructure.
Imagine Church
Imagine Church started as a church plant in Brazil. The mother church grew from zero to 8,000 members in just six years, and the movement now reaches 16 countries. I lead our church plant here in South Florida and oversee planting across the United States: English, Spanish, and Portuguese-speaking churches. We're for the broken, the delayed, and the rebuilding. Everyone deserves a place to belong.
