Erica Hayes Ministries - Isaiah 40:31 -But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Erica Hayes is the Associate Pastor of The Engrafted Word Family Church and founder of Erica L. Hayes Ministries. Gifted with a heart of compassion and genuine love for others, she is a definite asset to this Ministry team. Married to Dr. Brian Hayes for over ten years and the mother of two called and chosen children, Pastor Erica is a true gift to the Body of Christ.

Raised as the daughter of a Pentecostal Preacher, Erica had seen her share of the hard side of ministry. Though she had given her heart to the Lord at a young age, Erica became disheartened by the hypocrisy she saw demonstrated by some Christians, so she rebelled and spent several years away from the Lord.

After realizing that she could not continue without Jesus, Erica surrendered her life to the Lord and His call upon her life. Together with her husband, she founded and co-pastors The Engrafted Word Family Church in Centerville, Ohio.

Pastor Erica has worked diligently alongside her husband and has served as Praise and Worship Leader, Teacher, Prayer Coordinator, Associate Pastor and mentor to the ladies of the congregation.

Feeling a leading from the Lord to do more outside the four walls of the Church, Pastor Erica founded Erica L. Hayes Ministries as an outreach to women to teach them who they are in Christ, their rights and privileges as Believers and to help them grow in their relationship with the Lord and others.

Erica holds a Bachelors and Masters in Christian Education through Christian Bible College and Seminary in Independence Missouri.
