Pastor Jeff Siegel

Pastor Siegel grew up in Southern California, and after graduating from high school he embarked on a career in the Air Force. Although his career was mostly spent in a single career field—communications and computer systems—his assignments spanned the nation and the globe to include studies at the Air Force Academy and the Naval Postgraduate School and five years of service in Japan.

Pastor Siegel took his first steps towards entering the ministry after he retired from the Air Force. He initially sought ordination in the United Methodist Church by enrolling at Asbury Theological Seminary, but as he studied at Asbury he grew increasingly aware of conflicts between what was being taught and what he read in the Bible. So, after much prayer, reflection, and study, Pastor Siegel joined the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) and transferred to Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

His first call after graduating was to Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Granite Falls, Minnesota. Saint Mary Evangelical Lutheran Church called Pastor Siegel and installed him as pastor in June, 2010. Pastor Siegel continues to be an ordained minister of the LCMS of the English District, serving Saint Mary as part of the LCMS's commitment to supporting and encouraging confessional Lutheranism.

Pastor Siegel met his wife, Gayl, after he retired from the Air Force and was preparing to enter the ministry. Pastor Siegel and Gayl are in the process of adopting a child from China.
