Dr. Eric Smith brings twenty years of ministry and leadership experience, with ten of those years as a Senior Pastor. He was a founder of Vertical Church, a church plant in Mississippi that became one of the fastest growing churches in the State which grew to four campuses.

During that same time period, Eric was a founder of the 242 Network. The 242 Network is a church-planting network that assesses, trains, and coaches church planters primarily in Mississippi, but also around North America. During his time as the 242 Network Director, the team developed church planter assessments, training, and coaching.

The 242 Network has now helped to plant over 50 churches and trained hundreds of church leaders. After almost seven years as a church planter and the 242 Network Director, Eric took on the task of revitalizing Vaughn Forest Church in Montgomery, AL, a church that had been declining for almost nine consecutive years. Under Eric’s leadership and a powerful work of the Holy Spirit, the church saw the momentum change and within a year and a half was named to Outreach Magazine’s “100 Fastest Growing Churches in America".

During the past two years Eric has worked as a consultant serving churches and church plants around the country. Eric and Krystal believe God is calling their family to take a new step of faith and plant Hope City Church.
