There have been 2 Presidents Impeached in the U.S. history. The 17th president Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1868 for violation of the Tenure in Office Act of 1867. However, the Senate was one vote short of convicting Johnson.
The 42nd president Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 by the House for perjury and obstruction of justice. As with Johnson, the Senate could not come up with the two-thirds majority to convict Clinton.
President Nixon was not impeached. While the House issued articles of impeachment for bribery, obstruction of justice, illegal wiretapping, and bribery Nixon resigned the Presidency before the House voted for impeachment. Most certainly had he not resigned he would have been impeached.

If you mean were there any US Presidents who were impeached who also happen to be preachers, then the answer is no. Of all the US Presidents, only one was a preacher. That person was President James Garfield. He was elected as the 20th US President in the election of 1880. He became the fourth Republican President, and the third Republican President from Ohio. He was the last person to ascend to the Presidency directly from the House of Representatives. He took office in 1881, and was assassinated shortly thereafter by a "a disgruntled office seeker" who's name I don't recall. There have been two US Presidents who have been impeached, or formally accused of "... high Crimes and Misdemeanors" by the House of Representatives.
