Leadership

Matt Mitchell has been shepherding LEFC since 1998. He is a native of north-central Ohio and a graduate of the Moody Bible Institute, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and the Westminster Theological Seminary. He graduated from WTS in 2012 with his Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling.

Pastor Matt's passion is glorifying God by bringing people in to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ through preaching the Word of God, shepherding the flock of God, and equipping the saints of God to do the work of the ministry.

Pastor Matt is the author of Resisting Gossip: Winning the War of the Wagging Tongue (CLC Publications, 2013).

Pastor Matt and his wife Heather (also a graduate of MBI) love to hike in Pennsylvania State Parks, read good books, and spend time with their four children: Robin, Andrew, Peter, and Isaac.
