Eric Gambardella
Production Manager
Where Are you from?
Suffolk, Virginia
Where did you go to School?
Christopher Newport University: B.A. in Communication Studies, 2005. Reformed Theological Seminary: M.A. Biblical Studies, 2023.
Who is your family?
Beth and I were married in 2005. Our son, Julian, was born in 2011. And our daughter, Faith, was born in 2016. A great blessing is that we live right between my parents in Suffolk, and Beth's parents in Henrico.
what do you enjoy most about your role at the chapel?
My philosophy of sound, lighting, and video production for a church is not to be as impressive or flashy as possible because the gospel is powerful on its own. Rather, good production removes distractions and barriers as the church seeks to communicate the gospel. I love the behind-the-scenes service of "preparing the way," so to speak, for the church's gospel ministry to be clear and unhindered. I get just as much joy setting up someone else's microphone to work perfectly as I do from singing or teaching myself.

I am an unashamed NASCAR enthusiast. Go ahead and poke fun if you like. I can't hear you over the noise. A11 In. JGR. 23XI.
