Joined the Huntington University faculty in 2000.

Dr. Thomas (Tom) Bergler teaches in the Ministry and Missions Department at Huntington University. He is particularly interested in discipleship and youth ministry, interests that often appear in his published scholarly work as well as in the classroom. 

As an educator, Tom’s goal is to equip students to be leaders in the church who can lead others to spiritual maturity. He wants them to understand that God has created and called them to serve the church and the world in the power of Christ.  

Originally from Grand Blanc, Michigan, Tom lives in Huntington with his wife, Sarah, and their children. He enjoys camping in his free time.
