2025 Speaker: Greg Speck
Greg was born in San Francisco, California and raised in Walnut Creek, California. He is an avid San Francisco 49ers, Giants, Golden State Warriors and San Jose Sharks fan. Please feel free to send him any autographed items from any of these teams. He grew up in a non-Christian home and didn’t become a Christian until he was a senior in high school. He played football during school and was very, very good (in his own mind). Years ago, he attended Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. It is a great school and he would highly recommend it to you. He graduated with a major in Sociology and minors in Social Work and Biblical and Theological studies. After graduating he started working with teenagers and has done that ever since. He has the best job in the world and that is traveling around the world speaking to teenagers and families. He has been a caseworker for emotionally disturbed and delinquent teens, Youth Pastor, Youth Specialist for Moody Bible Institute, President of Youth Ministries International, the youth and family communicator for Bethel University and a friend to endangered woodland animals (that was very random). He has led groups of teenagers on mission trips to the British Isles and all across Europe for over 20 years. A few close friends and him started Greg Speck Ministries as a formal way for him to continue the ministry of being a Youth and Family communicator.
