When he returned back home he met and married the love of his life,  Zoe Cloninger on October 23, 1971.

Ted felt the Lord calling him to be a pastor so he moved, with his family, to Fletcher, North Carolina to attend Fruitland Baptist Bible College.

There he served for 6 years before moving on to a church in Salmo, British Columbia, Canada, where he served approximately five years. In the summer of 1993 he and his family moved to Ocean Park, WA where he served at Immanuel Baptist church until 1995.

After resigning from being pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, he went to work as a long haul truck driver, in addition to being the pastor of New Hope Baptist Mission, a church start, also in Ocean Park. At the time of his death he was working for Camping World towing and delivering camping trailers to their sales lots. Ted was a very loving dedicated Christian man to his wife and family.
