About Eric Camp

Pastor Eric Camp is the founder and Senior Pastor of Collective Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi, which he and his wife, Toni, planted in 2009 after Hurricane Katrina providentially provided the funding catalyst. Under his leadership, Collective has grown to more than 2,000 members.

A passionate voice for authentic discipleship over cultural Christianity, Pastor Camp deliberately teaches his congregation to identify as "Christ followers" rather than simply "Christians," anchoring identity in the Gospels and challenging believers to ask whether their lives actually look like Jesus lived. He warns that an Americanized, convenience-driven church culture has replaced the costly call to follow Jesus, and consistently calls the church back to repentance, the Word, and full-custody discipleship.

Pastor Camp also engages directly in civic life. He served five years on the Ocean Springs School District School Board and has stood as a candidate for public office in both Alabama and Mississippi, championing elected school boards, term limits, and self-funded campaigns free from political favors. He argues that "faith without works is dead" and that pastors can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines of public life.

Building a Gospel-Driven Community: Pastor Eric Camp on Church, Culture, and Calling

Pastor Eric Camp of Collective Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi joins Philip Cameron for a candid conversation about the state of the modern church and what it truly means to follow Jesus. Drawing from his years of ministry on the Gulf Coast — including navigating Hurricane Katrina, which providentially became the funding catalyst for planting Collective Church — Eric brings hard-won wisdom about trusting God through crisis and allowing him to work in ways we cannot see. The heart of the conversation is a clarion call for authentic discipleship over cultural Christianity. Eric warns that "we're seeing a lack of becoming disciples" and that too many churches are leading people to say a prayer without genuine repentance. Referencing 1 John, he challenges believers to ask whether their lives actually look like Jesus lived. He and Philip discuss the dangerous rise of spiritual deception, the blurring of biblical conviction, and why Eric's congregation deliberately uses the term "Christ follower" rather than "Christian" to anchor identity in the Gospels. Despite the sobering diagnosis, both men point to genuine hope: a growing hunger among Gen Z for something real and transparent, a documented surge of young men seeking God, and revival spreading in unexpected places like Iran. Eric's message is a reset — back to the Word, back to repentance, back to full-custody discipleship. Find Collective Church at mycollectivechurch.com.

Daily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Eric Camp

Pastor Eric Camp of Collective Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi joins Philip Cameron for a candid, Spirit-led conversation about the state of the American church and the urgent need for genuine discipleship. Eric pulls no punches: "This Americanized Christianity, or cultural Christianity, whatever we wanna call it, is not biblical Christianity." Together, Philip and Eric unpack how a convenience-driven, celebrity-saturated church culture has replaced the costly call to follow Jesus — the very theme of Eric's upcoming sermon series, "Follow," launching at Collective Church. The conversation draws on Jesus's own summary of the Law — love God with everything you are and love others as yourself — as the measuring stick the modern church is failing to meet. Philip shares a powerful personal account of being discipled by his father in a Winnebago motor home across America, illustrating that true discipleship demands discipline. Eric echoes this, warning that less than 50% of Americans now identify as followers of Christ, a sobering sign of decades of "doing church" rather than "being church." From college-campus revivals to end-times prophecy and the spiritual warfare intensifying across the West, this episode is a rallying cry for believers to chase Christ, pursue discipleship, and get back to the basics of following Jesus.

Church: A Force for Social Change

Pastor Eric Camp of Collective Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi joins Philip Cameron to make a compelling case for why Christians — and especially pastors — can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines of American political life. Eric shares his journey from running a mayoral race in Oxford, Alabama in 2004, to serving five years on the Ocean Springs School District School Board, to now running for Mississippi House District 111, arguing that "the church has been quiet for too long." The conversation tackles the accelerating moral decline in public education, from gender ideology being taught to minors without parental consent to the infiltration of inappropriate materials in school libraries. Eric and Philip agree that faith without works is dead — invoking the spirit of James 2 — and that conservative Christians fracturing over personal grievances is precisely what allows the progressive left to consolidate power. Eric calls on pastors to mobilize their congregations around shared biblical values rather than partisan loyalty, declaring, "We're Christ followers before we're Republicans and we're Christ followers before we're Democrats." Eric also champions elected school boards, term limits, and self-funded campaigns free from political favors. Learn more or support his campaign at ericcamp.net.
