He lives in Muncie with his Wife DaRhonda and together they have two children (Ben and Brittney (husband Luke Wellman)) and 3 Grand children (Gabriel, Lilliana, and Hadley). He received his education from Nazarene Bible College and from the local North East Indiana District. He was ordained in 2011. His ministry at South Side calls him to preaching the word of God and teaching in Sunday School, Small Groups, and on an individual basis. He councils with individuals in their homes and here at South Side. He councils with couples in marriage, individuals with life struggles, and with people in long term care facilities. His gifts are primarily focused on relating the gospel message and God's grace to people who come to the Church from an unchurched background or who have trouble even believing. Through many struggles with a broken world and with personal sin God’s grace persuaded Todd to come home to His gathering. Because of these struggles Todd has an ability to see guide others through real world issues. Recently Pastor Todd has taken on guiding our Chapel services on Sunday mornings.
