Ted McCulloch, MDiv, Pastor Ted McCulloch has served as Pastor of First Presbyterian since December, 2014. He came to First Presbyterian from nearby Birch Run, where he had pastored the Taymouth Presbyterian Church for 25 years – since 1989 when he graduated from seminary. Originally from the Chicago area, where his father was a pastor, Ted earned a B.A,. in American History from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. He then went on to earn a Masters in Divinity from Louisville (Ky.) Presbyterian Theological Seminary. That is where he met his wife, DeAnn. Part of the joy of being a pastor is the opportunity to be with people in all sorts of moments in their lives and the chance to share Christ’s love with them. Of course, for Ted, the chance to share a joke or have a laugh is not often overlooked. In addition to serving as the Pastor for First Presbyterian, Ted has served as the Stated Clerk for the Presbytery of Lake Huron since April, 2010. As Stated Clerk he oversees constitutional, judicial, and parliamentary issues for the 46 Presbyterian churches in the region. Outside of his church work, Ted faithfully cheers on his Chicago Cubs – winning the World Series in 2016 was an unforgettable highlight. He still loves to read history of all eras and can usually be found with a book in hand. He especially enjoys ancient Hebrew and Biblical history. The best part of any day for Ted is time with DeAnn and the chance to watch a movie or a baseball game together. Ted and DeAnn love living in the city and being part of this community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef6477d4425b3268249e489/1610989117717-BZ6GU0G7IIOPE6VBZV0L/Bambi%252BPhoto.jpg Staff - Bambi Straebel, Parish Visitor Bambi has been a member of First Presbyterian Saginaw since 1980 and has raised her children in this congregation.
