Ned Erickson
Ned and his wife Lia joined Hope Presbyterian Church after Lia’s medical residency in Denver, Colorado. Worship was still being held in the back of a car dealership, and the service was also interrupted by the cries and screams of their young daughter, Anna Rose. The church then was a place of grace and acceptance, two things this family desperately needed; and years later, these things have continued to be true.
Professionally, Ned has served in a variety of roles with Young Life and church youth ministry. He founded the Winston-Salem Fellows in 2016, and currently serves as its Co-Director. He also directs Community Impact at Piedmont Federal Bank and consults with organizations, groups, and individuals who are seeking to integrate deeper purpose and the things they do. Additionally, he has written several books, including Falling Into Love, Clay, Get This, and The Reason. He is an avid runner, outdoorsman, pickleball player, and musician. But most importantly, he is a husband to Lia and father to Anna Rose and David.
