Todd Payton
Lead Pastor
God took me on a different path than most. I worked in construction for 15 years before finally saying “yes” to full-time ministry. After graduating from Lincoln Christian University in 2008 with my BA in Church Leadership and Management with a Minor in Bible; I took a Student Ministry position at Jefferson Church in North Carolina where I served for 7.5 years.
I've been the Lead Pastor at Union Christian Church since October 2015. My three passions in life - preaching, serving, and watching people come to Jesus. I graduated in December 2019 with my MA in Christian Leadership and Preaching from Kentucky Christian University. I have a beautiful wife Heather of 25 years. My wife is a Middle School Language Arts teacher. Together we have 3 children: Madison (22), Dawson (20), and Riley (19) The two oldest live in Las Vegas and North Carolina and the youngest still lives at home. Top 5 things I enjoy outside of ministry: detailing cars, playing golf, watching movies, working out, and spending time with my family. |
