Our Staff

Ted Dodd
- Pastor
Ted and his wife Ami live in Wheeling with their daughter and two sons. A Wheeling native, Ted oversees C3’s leadership development and serves as one of the preaching pastors. Like the other pastors, Ted is involved in numerous pastoral duties in addition to his primary ministries.
Ted is a graduate of West Liberty University with a B.A. in Business Administration and received a Masters of Divinity degree from the Reformed Theological Seminary.
Ted served as a Youth Pastor at Daniel Memorial Baptist Church (Jackson, Mississippi), Senior Pastor at Park Baptist Church in McKeesport, PA, and returned to Wheeling to start Redeeming Grace Church, with some local families, serving as the Lead Pastor. He worked for Wheeling Housing Authority during this time before joining the C3 staff in 2013. His vision has been instrumental in propelling C3 to its current position.
Why is C3 Special to you?
It's the people. I have never been surrounded by such genuine, caring, and Jesus-loving people. When I found that at C3, I knew this is the place that I want my family to be.
Name at least two things you do very well.
I enjoy building things with my boys, and I'm also a homebrewer.
Name at least two things you don't do very well.
Sing (at least I'm told) and play basketball (the last time I did, I was on crutches for 9 months).
Tell us about one of the most fun things you've ever done.
When I was 15, I drove across the country with my dad. It didn't seem fun at the time, but it's hard to recreate a memory-generating event like that in a lifetime.
If you had two hours of absolute free time, what would you do?
I'd probably spend it wondering what I'm forgetting to do right now.
What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?
Forgave me
