Meet Our Senior Pastor

Eric Geiger is married to Kaye, and they have two daughters: Eden and Evie. Eric is the Senior Pastor of Mariners Church. He is still in awe of God’s grace and grateful to get to teach God’s Word and serve Mariners Church. Eric received his doctorate in leadership and church ministry from Southern Seminary and has also authored or co-authored several books, including the best-selling church leadership book, Simple Church, and a kids’ book with his favorite co-author— Evie. During his free time, Eric enjoys exploring new places to eat in Southern California with Kaye, taking his daughters to the beach, mountain biking, and playing basketball.
