Pastor Eric Sapp received his Bachelor of Arts degree (double major in biology and psychology) from Wabash College in Indiana in 1987. After several years of running his own investment business, Eric felt God tugging at his heart in the area of full-time ministry.  He later received a Master’s Degree in Religious Education and a Doctorate in Ministry.       Eric worked as an Associate Pastor at the same Delaware area church for seventeen years before being asked to accept the pastorate of New Hope Delaware, a brand new church, in the summer of 2013.

Eric and his wife, Tammy, have been married for over thirty years and have two adult daughters.
