Ian Merlak

Ian is on staff as the Student Ministries Director alongside his wife, Macey, and has been a member of Redeemer since October, 2016. Ian graduated from Aurora University and started attending Redeemer as a college student; he instantly fell in love with Redeemer’s commitment to being a gospel-centered church. Ian has been happily married to his lovely wife Macey since 2019, and fully embraces the Dad life with his daughters Margot and June. Along with his church staff position, Ian is a Technical Analyst at Dealer Inspire and serves as a youth leader to the high school guys on Wednesday nights. Ian loves spending time with his wife, daughters, crazy dog (Daisy the golden retriever) and crazy cat (Emmitt the fat cat), watching his St. Louis Cardinals beat the terrible Chicago Cubs, and making others laugh at cringy dad jokes. Some say he has a great dad bod…Ian would say he considers it his “Father Figure”.
