Born and raised in southern Oregon, Eric is the third oldest of seven children. Eric's parents were faithful to nurture him in the knowledge and fear of the Lord. Eric attended Seattle Pacific University to study biology in hopes of becoming a medical doctor. During his first year of college, however, the Lord directed Eric away from the medical field and toward pastoral ministry. Upon confirmation from mentors and through much prayer, Eric followed his conviction to participate in the advancement of the gospel through pastoral ministry.

Eric graduated from SPU with a bachelor's degree in Educational Ministry with minors in Global & Urban Ministry and Youth Ministry. Eric then completed a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry (DMin) at Western Seminary.

Eric is married to Brooke, who holds a Doctorate of Pharmacy, obtained through Washington State University - Riverpoint in Spokane. Brooke is a full-time mom at home and a part-time employee at Tick-Klock Drug in Colfax, WA. Eric and Brooke have three daughters, Brynn (2), Sadie (1) and Camille (5 Months). The Morse family enjoys time with family and friends and serving the local church in various ways. Brooke currently serves primarily in children’s ministry as a caretaker of toddlers and infants as well as helping to lead worship as a female vocalist. 

Eric currently serves his sending church by overseeing the youth and young adult ministries at Fourth Memorial Church. Eric also preaches at Sunday morning worship gatherings from time to time. As Eric has grown in ministry ability and theological understanding, God has developed a conviction to be about church planting locally in the greater Spokane area. The elders of Fourth Memorial affirmed Eric’s conviction and committed to partnering with him and Brooke to initiate a church plant in the Moran Prairie neighborhood in South Spokane in June 2024.
