Erik Engstrom


After growing up in Maple Valley, WA, Erik attended the University of Washington, and met his wife Karen while serving with her in an outreach ministry in the University District. Married in 1991, Erik and Karen quickly birthed their eight children. After 20 years of marriage, Erik says: “It's a good start!" In 2005 the Lord began impressing upon Erik the importance of family integration and discipleship when, along with Paul DeBusschere and Daryl Harper, he felt the call to plant Foothills HOFCC in the Maple Valley area. Foothills has prospered under their leadership as Erik and his fellow elders serve as bi-vocational elders. Erik divides his time between designing embedded computer products, his family, pastoral ministry and his hobby of pyrotechnics. The Engstroms currently live in Covington, WA.
