Theodore William Zull was born May 18, 1944, in Chicago, Illinois. He died at the age of 75 on Oct. 3, 2019, at his home in Tigard, Oregon.

Terry started his ministry in 1969 in the Texas Conference, where he was ordained and served in the San Antonio, Nacogdoches district and Corpus Christi for seven years. In 1976 he accepted a call to the Oregon Conference, where he served the Sandy, Medford, Gladstone and Beaverton churches. He retired in 2010 but was asked to serve as an interim pastor for the Tualatin company.

He re-retired in 2018, having served the church for 49 years. Terry felt that the pastoral ministry was the frontline work of the church. He loved being a pastor and was known for his sense of humor and diplomacy.

Terry is survived by his wife of almost 52 years, Sharon (Brown), and his sisters, Charmayne Zull and Robbie Bowers, both of Chicago. His beloved daughter, Elisa Beth, preceded him in death.

When our Lord comes, He will awaken as one of God’s precious children. As Terry said many, many times, God is good!
