Tedd joined Third Church as a Stated Supply Associate Pastor for Congregational Care and Outreach in summer 2021, after serving at Ogden Presbyterian Church and New Life Presbyterian Church. Tedd’s passion for urban ministry was kindled during his field ministry at former Calvary St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in the South Wedge and continued during his tenure at New Life. Tedd also worked as a Mission Co-Worker at People’s Ministry in Christ in northwest Rochester, and at a boy’s group home in the city—an experience he describes as transformative.

Tedd holds a Bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Binghamton and a Master of Divinity degree from Colgate Rochester Crozier Divinity School.

Tedd and his wife Kathy have three wonderful, young-adult children.
