Keys to Successful Hiring and Firing—Part 2
About the Author: Eric Rojas

A coach and developer at heart, Eric felt the call into ministry when he was in college and had the desire to use his gifts and abilities in God’s church. Having worked in ministry for over 35 years, Eric has been blessed with working as a youth pastor, adult ministries pastor, small groups pastor, associate pastor, worship pastor, men’s pastor, and sports pastor throughout those years—which has led him to his now-role of Executive Pastor at Rolling Hills Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee. Named #24 in Outreach 100’s fastest growing churches for 2023, the role is a challenging, yet very rewarding as more and more people come to know Jesus and are changed by him. In addition to working in the local church, Eric loves serving the church at large through speaking, consulting and writing. His bi-weekly blog, Essential Godly Leadership, encourages and coaches all Christ-following leaders.
When he’s not working, you can likely find Eric spending time doing two things: being with his family or watching baseball! Originally from the Chicago area, he’s a dedicated (crazed you might say) Chicago Cubs baseball fan – and he was overjoyed when they won the World Series in 2016! He has been married to his wife, Rachel, for over 30 years and is a father to Luke & his wife, Megan, Adam & his wife, Sierra, and Chloe & her husband Jacob. Rachel and Eric are also Mimi and Pops to 4 grandchildren. More can be found at erictoddrojas.com and essentialGodlyleadership.com or [email protected].
