Rev. Dr. Todd Salmi

Hey everyone! My name is Todd and I am blessed to be the Pastor of the United Campus Ministry of Texas State.   

Every day brings its own excitement around the UCM. We’ve got students from all different backgrounds meeting up in this building and trying to figure out school, life, relationships, and faith with one another all at the same time. It's a blessing to part of it! 

A little more about me: I'm an ordained pastor in The United Methodist Church, my wife is a scientist with a PhD from UT Austin, I have three kids, I'm fluent in Spanish, I love mission trips, and pinball!
