Pastor Eric came to faith through the waters of baptism a few weeks after he was born in 1973. He says, "The Lord has been the constant strength of my life, and it is the greatest joy of my life, to share His love with the world as a Pastor in His church."

Pastor Eric has a beautiful wife, Sara, and two beautiful children, Thalassa (Thaley) and Eric Jr. God called the Trickey family to ministry at St. Mark in July of 2003, and he hopes to remain here as long as there are souls in North County living without the hope of Jesus Christ. Pastor Eric is a 2000 graduate of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis and has been a Pastor in Southern California since 2001.
