About Pastor Todd

Pastor Todd Creason is the father of two daughters, and lives with his wife Valerie on the same farm he grew up on. He was trained and worked in management, finance, and accounting over his 38 year professional career.  He worked the last 27 years of his career as a Senior Business Manager at the University of Illinois.  

Todd and Valerie are small town people, and love their small town lifestyle.  They both grew up in the country, and neither of them ever got too far away from the family farm.  Faith is something that they both share. Their faith in God, and strong Christian values have been at the center of their marriage for more than 25 years.  

In 2019, Todd felt a strong call to ministry, and started seminary at the Urbana Theological Seminary (near the University of Illinois campus).  Shortly after completing the requirements of the American Baptist Church Ministerial Program, he was called to the pulpit as a part-time bi-vocational pastor in the spring of 2023.

He was ordained in May of 2024, and felt strongly that God was calling him to be more than a part-time pastor.  He felt that so strongly, that three months later, he retired early from the University of Illinois, and now serves as the full-time Senior Pastor of Muncie Baptist Church.
