Our Pastor

Pastor Isaac Erickson was called by First Baptist Church, Council Bluffs to minister as an Associate Pastor in November 2024. After serving in that position for one and a half years, he was officially installed as the Senior Pastor in May 2026.

Isaac received his education at Bethel University (MN), Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and served for four years in a church in Omaha, in which he completed a residency program tailored for pastoral ministry – especially emphasizing the importance of the local church.

Isaac has a great love for Christ, His church, and enjoys studying theology to the glory of God. His theological interests include Reformed Baptist theology, Baptist History, and preaching Christ from the whole Bible.

Outside of ministry, Pastor Isaac enjoys watching and playing sports, playing chess, and listening to music. He and his family are excited to continue worshipping the Lord at First Baptist Church, and are excited to see what God has in store for the people in the city.
