Rev. Todd R. Lattig, M.Div., is an ordained elder in the Greater New Jersey Conference of The United Methodist Church. He serves First United Methodist Church of Mount Holly, Lumberton United Methodist Church, Smithville United Methodist Church, and Masonville-Rancocas United Methodist Church in New Jersey. Originally from Sussex County, Todd now lives in Mount Holly with his wife, Bernadette. They have two adult daughters, Katie and Lorien.
Todd’s ministry brings together thoughtful biblical study, creative worship, spiritual growth, and meaningful engagement with the community. He values collaborative leadership, honest conversation, and relationships that help congregations connect their faith with the lives of their neighbors. He approaches the church’s traditions as a living inheritance, with room for fresh questions, faithful adaptation, and new ways of serving.
A theologian, writer, musician, and artist, Todd invites people to wrestle honestly with Scripture and explore what following Jesus means in everyday life. His interests include Christian history, philosophy, contemplative spirituality, and the ways faith challenges our assumptions about belonging, justice, institutions, and power. He seeks to make space for people to ask difficult questions and grow in their understanding of God’s grace.
Todd is the founder of Life-Giving Water Ministries and the author of Life-Giving Water Devotions. Through these reflections, he connects Scripture with real life, inviting readers into deeper discernment, compassion, and faithful action. He also co-hosts The Party on JohnCast, bringing faith and conversation together with humor and a willingness to explore.
Todd enjoys writing poetry and songs, making music, and creating visual art. Creativity is an important part of his life, offering space for reflection, expression, and renewal.
Todd’s church leadership experience includes chairing the Skylands District Superintendency Committee and service on the Greater New Jersey Conference’s Commission on Archives and History. His love of liturgy, worship, and community building continues to shape his pastoral work.
A longtime vegetarian, Todd has also participated in conversations about the relationship between Christian faith and healthy living. Away from pastoral responsibilities, he enjoys hiking, reading, films, and making room for the creative work that nourishes him.
