Ted and Angie Stackpole moved to Palatka from Cape Coral in 1996.  They originally came here to work with the middle and high school students of Putnam County through the church of First Assembly of God.  In 2003 Ted became the senior pastor of First Assembly of God where he continues to minister.  Ted leads the church in three areas: First by touching the community through tangible methods of feeding, clothing, and financially bridging the gap during a person's struggle.  Second by teaching the church and community how to have strong, vibrant, and healthy families and relationships.  Finally, by sharing the good news of salvation that comes from knowing the love of God found only through Jesus Christ.

Ted graduated from the Minister's Training Institute with a degree in ministry with Greek, he has an associate degree in business administration from St. Johns Community college and is an Ordained minister with the Assemblies of God.

Ted and Angie have 5 children.  They like to go camping, biking and spending time together as a family.  Ted has traveled the world with his involvement in missionary work and hopes one day to be able to do it more extensively.
