Homeschool Week / June 15-21, 2025

Eric Mounts was raised in Springfield, Ohio, and graduated from Greenon High School in 1977 and Cedarville College in 1981 with a degree in Business Administration. A standout athlete, he was named a third-team NAIA All-American in basketball and graduated as the third all-time leading collegiate scorer in Ohio history.

He married Andi, a fellow Cedarville student from suburban Detroit, in 1982. Andi taught and coached for seven years before stepping away to raise their family.

Eric earned a Master of Theology (ThM) from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1985 and a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 2003. He has served in pastoral ministry since 1985, including leadership roles at Southgate Baptist Church (OH), Grand Ledge Baptist Church (MI), Bible Center Church (WV), and currently, Calvary Baptist Church (KY).

An author, Eric wrote In His Chambers (2017), a 91-day devotional for lawyers, as well as Jack: The Legacy of a Great Dad and Tell Us the Big Story, a seven-lesson Bible study.

Eric and Andi have three children, all Cedarville graduates. Caleb (married to Emily) is Director of IT at Ohio Valley Surgery Center; Benjamin (married to Lesley) is General Employment Counsel for National Church Residences; and Abbey (married to Dane) is a pediatric nurse at Dayton Children’s Hospital. They cherish their seven grandchildren, who bring them great joy.
