What Pastors and other church leaders are saying about Rippling Brooks Ministries
This year for the third time Burnham Baptist Church is anticipating our ministering with the Brooks family in our DVBS. They are humble leaders, well prepared and cooperative with our director and staff.
Their music is mostly new and all conservative. Erich’s Bible lessons are age appropriate and lively. They come with a complete program including games, crafts, missionary challenge, skits and puppets. The gospel is clearly presented without any human coercion.
If you are a small and/or an older church like us, we highly recommend the Rippling Brooks Ministries.

Most churches are looking for godly help in the ministry for the purpose of reaching people for Christ and encouraging their members to serve the Lord.
Erich and Shawna Brooks and their family with Rippling Brooks Ministries have been used by our Lord to come alongside local churches to be such a help. Whether an original Vacation Bible School program, a yearly Christmas program, or special services, the Brooks family has the heart and experience to help local churches to faithfully serve the Lord.
North Eulalia Baptist Church in Coudersport, PA has been blessed for a number of years by their yearly Christmas programs, filling the pulpit for the pastor, and providing God-honoring special music. God’s people at NEBC have always been ministered to by the high-quality, as well as humble and faithful presentation by each member of the Brooks family.
I highly recommend the Brooks family and their multifaceted ministry to your church or ministry. God has used them to help others, and they are prepared to be used by Him to help you.

I have personally known Erich and Shawna Brooks for over 20 years. In that time Erich served as pastor of the Cowlesville church. I have seen their ministry develop and expand over that time as they worked in the church’s Kids Club, Vacation Bible School, Christmas programs, other special times, as well as the weekly ministries. In that time I and the church family have been personally blessed, encouraged, and challenged (in the right way) by not only their ministry but by their love for the Lord and His people.
I have seen their desire to reach those who need the gospel message and its Savior applied in their various ministries and their lives.
They present their Christmas program to our church every year.
As a church we recommend them to minister to you, as I do personally.
In Christ,
Albert J. Matteo, Pastor
Cowlesville Baptist Church
Are you looking for some help with Vacation Bible School?
I would like to recommend Rippling Brooks Ministries to any who are considering having a ministry come and help with Vacation Bible School or for a Christmas program. Erich, Shawna, and the rest of the Brooks family were a real blessing to our church family here in Dresserville (near Moravia), NY as they did their VBS program for us in 2022.
They came with servant’s hearts and worked to fit in with our VBS team. If we needed to adjust the schedule, they were glad to do so. If there was someone just looking for a way to help, they included them. Not only did Erich and Shawna get to know the VBS kids and talk and interact with them, so did their children.
Erich’s Bible lessons were faithful to Scripture and understandable for the kids. The whole family gets involved with music, drama, skits, and fun to help the kids learn about Jesus Christ our Savior as well as other bible characters and truths. Shawna, with the help of her kids, headed up a craft time where they also learned biblical truth.
Our church family, especially those working at VBS with the Brooks, were very pleased with the week and ready to have them back. Thank you Rippling Brooks ministries for coming alongside local churches and serving in this way.

We have been blessed to have the Brooks family bring their Christmas Program to our church the last two years. The Brooks are faithful, hard-working servants of God who use their creative and musical talents to glorify Christ and encourage His people. We love how they go all-out to bring a full set with lights, props, and sound to augment their original programs which are full of beautiful music. We are amazed at all the different instruments that they can play. Erich also brings an excellent Gospel message to complete the program. He compellingly communicates God’s love and sacrifice clearly and accurately.
Pastor Todd Baker
First Baptist Church of Elimsport
The Brooks Family (truly a family ministry) have done our DVBS for five years and their Christmas program four years. Their love for children is obvious. The children love them and look forward every year for their arrival, as well does our whole church family. I appreciate their ministry’s focus to the smaller church, and they come with a sincere desire to serve, not just as it relates directly to DVBS, but other areas that help might be needed, as time will allow. Their programs are always original, very organized and they come well prepared. There is a good balance of teaching, singing, crafting, games, and of course snack time, with the theme of the week being weaved through every aspect of the program for the week. The Bible teaching is solid, doctrinally sound, instructive, and evangelistic. The music is conservative. They provide everything that is necessary for a very successful DVBS. They request only for church folks to be available to assist in areas that need assistance, which is always a joy on our part to help. As pastor, I heartily recommend them and their ministry without any reservation for both their DVBS ministry and their Christmas Program ministry as well. Believe me when I say that their ministry has been a God send to our church.
