ERICH KOROSCHETZ
ElderErich came to know Christ through the ministry of First Baptist Church in Timmins, Ontario, where he grew up. Erich yielded to the power of the Gospel in his mid-teens and was privileged to develop his understanding of Scripture and ministry leadership with the support and encouragement of many strong believers. He met his wife, Val, there and they were married in 2007. In recent years, God has blessed them with two vibrant boys: Felix and Rudi.
Despite geographical distance, Erich and Val have been members of Harvest Barrie since 2012, and moved “home” to Barrie in 2016. Since then, they have enjoyed serving together as small group leaders and small group coaches, as well as in various other ministries. Together, they desire deeply to see others mature in their faith and find freedom in Christ.
