The Rev. David Erickson

David comes to St. Mary’s with training, experience and energy to lead and grow our parish. Most recently, he served as Canon for Congregational Ministries at St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral, in Jacksonville, Florida. Earlier, he was an Associate Rector at St. Cross Hermosa Beach, California and, prior to that, he served as lay Youth Director at All Saints, Pasadena.

David’s non-church background is diverse. He has a degree in theater and worked as a restaurant manager. He has a certificate in fundraising management from the Lily School of Philanthropy at Indiana University.

David and his wife, Heather, met in church — at All Saints, Beverly Hills. After their marriage, they both discerned calls to ordination, enrolling and graduating together from Virginia Theological Seminary. David has two school age children.
