Senior Pastor
On July 2, 2023 the members of Our Redeemer Evangelical Free Church extended a call to Pastor Terry Preheim to be our next Senior Pastor.
Pastor of Worship and Family Ministry
I joined Our Redeemer in 2019 as a pastoral resident and now serve as Pastor of Worship and Family Ministry. I grew up in the area, and attended Moody Bible Institute for my undergraduate degree (2010). My wife, Sara, and I have been married since 2010 and have grown into a family of six! Sara is a homeschool mom who graduated from Saginaw Valley State University (2011). She enjoys delicious coffee, reading good books, and walking the trails at the Chippewa Nature Center. Some of my favorite things are: anything music, recording the “No Perfect Dad” podcast, road trips with the family, getting to know people’s stories, and walking around Midland.
I started following Christ the summer before my sophomore year of high school, met Sara shortly after, and we have served in the church in many ways since. I have a heart to see The Great Commission fulfilled, especially through the lenses of Titus 2:1-8 (seeing the young and old coming together in discipleship) and Ephesians 4:1-16 (equipping the saints for the work of ministry in order that the church would thrive in unity).
