My name is Matthew Spiegel and I am a Christian Ministries major at Indiana Wesleyan University, with the plan of being a pastor. I was heavily involved in the leadership of my youth group during my high school years and have worked several years in non-profit
youth ministry. Through these experiences, I discovered my passion for youth ministry.

I am thankful that God has called me to full time ministry and eager to see how this will play out in my life. Within the bounds of ministry, the Lord has laid on my heart a excitement for local church ministry, discipleship, and a desire to see teenagers reach their full potential by discovering their purposes through coming to know Christ Jesus.

In addition to working in ministry, I love the outdoors. Whether it be camping, wilderness survival, hunting, fishing, climbing trees, or playing sports, I am up for anything outdoors. I also enjoy both playing and listening to music, theological conversations, deep talks with friends, meeting new people, and going on adventures.
