Leader Bio:
Rev. Matthew Stengel began as pastor of Greece United Methodist Church on July 1, 2011. Previously, he served United Methodist churches in Corning & Big Flats, Fredonia, Macedon Center & South Perinton, Marilla, Medina, and Limestone, beginning in 1986.
He graduated from Amherst High School near Buffalo, SUNY Geneseo, and Colgate Rochester Divinity School. He was ordained in 1988.
Matt has been married for over 30 years to Rev. Dr. Cathy Hall Stengel , currently pastor of the Rush United Methodist Church. They have three adult children. He enjoys woodworking, gardening, and fixing things that are broken.
Matt believes that faith and good works belong together.
A word from Pastor Matt – “I receive Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior but I know that I am called with all christians not to keep it to myself but to take my personal relationship and make it a public ministry. That public ministry is one of personal piety, stewardship and working for social justice.
The picture to the right is from mission work in Project Chacocente in Nicaragua. He is most happy when working and serving others.
Random Fact - Matt's favorite cookie is Chewy Oatmeal Raisin

May your light illuminate our hearts
Eternal God, this holy night is radiant with the brilliance of your one true light. May that light illuminate our hearts and shine in our words and deeds. May the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love represented by the birth in Bethlehem this night fill our lives and become part of all that we say and do. May we share the divine life of your son Jesus Christ, even as he humbled himself to share our humanity. Amen.
