Leon C. Wirth

Leon C. Wirth has been active in family ministry for over fifteen years. He has led AWANA groups, adult Sunday school classes, youth group Bible studies, and youth conferences. He currently serves as executive director of parenting and youth at Focus on the Family, providing leadership for children magazines Clubhouse and Clubhouse Jr., and the media discernment website PluggedIn.com.

Leon has also contributed to Focus on the Family projects like the TrueU teen worldview DVD series, The Boundless Show podcast at www.Boundless.org, the Big Dig youth apologetics conferences, and the Dad Matters podcast.

Leon grew up in St. Louis, Missouri (and is, naturally, an avid Cardinals fan). He met his wife, Michelle, while both attended Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri. After completing his BA at SBU, he earned his Masters degree in Communications from Wheaton College.

Leon and Michelle live with their eight daughters in Colorado Springs, where they enjoy music, movies, camping, and holiday cantata choirs...to name a few things.
