Baptist Church Planters is excited to announce the appointment of Eric Nihart as vice president of advancement.
Eric grew up in Iowa and had the privilege of being raised by godly parents. After graduation from high school, he attended Faith Baptist Bible College, where he met his wife, Jennifer. He then attended Iowa State University as a finance major.
In 2014 while attending Ankeny (Iowa) Baptist Church, Eric was asked to attend a discipleship retreat with Jon Jenks and a few others while Jon was pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Jon is now president of Baptist Church Planters.
At that retreat Eric became more dedicated and purposeful in his discipleship at Ankeny Baptist. And over the last 10 years, he and Jennifer became open to using Eric’s experience in the nonprofit financial sector to potentially transition to a Christian organization where Eric could use those gifts for ministry purposes.
After Eric and Jennifer prayed for several years for God to open a door, Jon presented an opportunity for Eric to join BCP as vice president of advancement.
Eric and Jennifer and their six daughters still live in Iowa and are excited to support BCP through Eric’s new role.
