The Waldon Family

Elder Eric L. Waldon, Pastor

Daniel, First Lady Felecia Waldon & Corey

Thank you for visiting Mt. Hermon Baptist Church’s Website. Much thought was put into its design as its sole purpose is for people to know Christ and grow in their relationship with Him.

I pray during your visit that you will find edifying information to increase your faith and deepen your commitment to our Lord.

We at Mt. Hermon are glad you visited our site today; and whenever you are able, we invite you to come and worship the Lord Jesus Christ with us during our Sunday morning celebration worship service.

Until then, on behalf of the Waldon Family and all the saints here at Mt. Hermon, may the grace and peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, be with you.

Elder Waldon is the Pastor of Mt. Hermon Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio. He also serves on the Faculty of the Baptist Bible Institute (BBI) and is a member of its Board of Trustees.

Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia Elder’s boyhood dream was to become a successful businessman. Having earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics from The University of the South (Sewanee, TN), he became a Marketing Representative for a major Fortune 500 company and later a Banking Officer with a large national bank.

Believing he was on his way to a successful business career, Elder soon learned that God had other plans for his future. Answering God’s call to the Gospel Ministry, he began his pursuit to attain a Master’s Degree at Dallas Theological Seminary.

Having a wide variety of ministry experiences, Elder has served as a Minister of Music, Director of Christian Education, a Senior Pastor and as Executive Director of an inner city ministry – all in his adopted home state of Tennessee.

He recently published his first book Prayer and Its Practice (2006) and is currently completing work on his second book along with several booklets. Elder’s hobbies include music (his mother made him take classical piano lessons from 2^nd -12^th grade) writing songs, singing and watching his boys play sports.

Elder is noted for his profound, yet simple style of expository preaching, his passion for ministry, teaching God’s Word and reaching the lost.

Elder is married to Felecia and they have two sons, Daniel (“DJ”) and Corey.
