Pastor Pat and Martha Testerman met as college students in New England at an InterVarsity Christian Fellowship conference. They married after graduation and spent the next two decades traveling around the world with the military before moving to New Hampshire in 2011.

Pat holds a Masters Degree in Christian Ministry from North Park Theological Seminary and certificates through the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF). His eclectic career after the military has included law enforcement and the airlines. He continues to serve as a part-time officer and chaplain in a local department.

Martha serves as a labor doula, birth assistant, and childbirth educator and has also completed her Formation certificate through CCEF. The Testermans are honored to be called to serve in a congregation where discipleship is practiced as the essential core of the Church’s mission. They enjoy working on their family farm, activities with their three adult kids, and the natural beauty God has provided in our area.

Contact Pastor Pat

Originally from the Minneapolis area, Jeff moved to southern New Hampshire in 1989 when he began his 30-year career as an air traffic controller. In 2012 he was ordained and began serving as a pastor in a bi-vocational role at his home church for the next 9 years. After retiring from the FAA he continued to work in various areas related to air traffic. This retirement brought him to his move to the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

While completely unexpected, Jeff felt God’s calling to full time ministry as pastor of Redeemer Church in 2024. It is his desire to see lives transformed by the power of the gospel and live as mature disciples connected to the life and mission of the church.

Jeff and his wife, Micki, have 2 adult children, daughter Annie, who is married to Nick and mom to Ezekial and Hazel, and son, Ben.
