The Rev. Dr. Eric Jackson was called as the Sixteenth Senior Minister of Eliot Church in Newton, Massachusetts on September 15, 2024 and began his service on November 24, 2025. Previously, he served as Pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, in Syracuse, New York. As a pastor who believes deeply in meeting people wherever they are on their spiritual journey, Eric has helped create spaces where both lifelong believers and spiritual seekers can explore faith authentically creating space to explore doubts and grow in their assurance.
During his tenure at Plymouth, he collaborated with church leadership to increase staffing, added two innovative worship experiences (“Jazz and Justice” and “Messy Church”), the stained glass restoration project moved forward, funds were raised and a state of the art livestreaming system was created for hybrid worship, a congregation congregational care team. His commitment to nurturing authentic spiritual leadership has resulted in two persons being prepared for ordained ministry during his tenure, with two more becoming members in discernment pursuing ordained ministry.
