Rev. Matt Spoden

Staff Pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran, Aberdeen

Matt grew up in Maple Grove, MN as an only child to his loving parents, Kim and Tom. Matt's parents introduced him to educational computer games as a young child, which quickly grew into a lifelong love for video games. His passion for gaming has led to meaningful community, and he wonders how the Gospel of Jesus Christ might be proclaimed in digital spaces. He also finds great joy in rooting for his Minnesota sports teams (no matter how hopeless it gets), playing disc golf, and playing board games. Matt graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College with a BA in Religion and Psychology in 2015 and graduated from Luther Seminary with a MDiv in 2019. Matt's deepest desire in ministry is for all people to know God's love for them, and to help cultivate life-giving opportunities for people to grow in faith.
