Servus Christi: Celebrating the Faithful Ministry of Rev. Ted Mueller

About 50 friends and family of the Rev. Ted Mueller joined together on January 12 to celebrate the posthumous presentation of the CNH President’s Servus Christi award presented to the Rev. Ted Mueller, long term pastor and facilitator of leaders, and the  planting and re-planting of churches in the CNH District.  Ted also served as an Interim Pastor and, until he was no longer physically able, vacant churches within the CNH District for pulpit supply.
