Bishop Eric Young
Bishop Eric Young was born and raised in the city of Oakland. Due to having been raised in a high-crime and drug-infested inner city, he faced and overcame many obstacles, recovered from a dire decision, and now has a very compelling testimony. After facing many life challenges, at the age of 24, Bishop Young gave his life to Christ after entering into a Christian recovery program. Through this program, Bishop Young grew stronger in the Lord.
After 19 years of service at two local ministries, God charged him to begin Covenant Relationship Church in the heart of East Oakland, CA, in 2012. Pastor Eric was ordained as Bishop in 2022 under the Ambassadors International Pastoral Network (AIPN), and served as the Bishop over Evangelism. Bishop Young served faithfully as Senior Pastor of Covenant Relationship for 10 years. In October 2022, he married Dr. Monica Gort, of Wings of Healing Christian Center. The two became one in the natural and in ministry, as they merged not only their lives, but also their churches, thus Wings of Healing Covenant Relationship Church was born. Bishop Eric and Dr. Monica Young currently serve and pastor in Stockton, CA.
