ABOUT US

Eric D. Lacy is the Pastor/Founder of the True Love Christian Church. TLC was started in November of 2008 with a few members who believed that the principles of True Love can change and not only enlist sinners but embrace the sick and empower the saints. This philosophy is born from the premise that a "Saint" is nothing more than a "Sick Sinner" saved by grace. Each message is crafted for the practical application of these fundamental truths to take the saints living to the next level.

ABOUT ERIC

The year 1999 brought him a lot of great things but none greater than his wife of 16 years, Chantine Lacy. Together, they have a blended family with four children, Jackie, Mike, Ariana, and Erica, and beloved nephew D'Andre Lacy. Through their ministry at home, God has shown Pastor Eric and Chantine Lacy God's design for the blended family.
