Pastor Todd was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon where at the age of 18 he joined the U.S. Air force. He retired from the Air Force in 2014 in Yorktown, VA and attended Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA where he graduated with a B.A. in Christian Ministry. Pastor Todd and his wife Crystal have been married for 17 years and have three awesome kids, Tyler, McKenzie, and Sierra. Pastor Todd and Crystal feel that God has not only called them to Children's Ministry but more specifically to Children's Ministry here in Walled Lake. The Gillespies have a heart for kids and their families and are eager to "do life" with as many families as God will send their way.
