Laurelen Müller

Executive Director

Laurelen Müller serves as the Executive Director of Speak for the Unborn. She helps to implement the big picture vision and mission of the ministry in every capacity, oversees administrative volunteers, trains & equips Network Churches, and plans organizational development.

Laurelen has felt called to pro-life ministry for as long as she can remember. Whether it was participating in baby bottle campaigns or volunteering for pregnancy resource centers growing up, or counseling teenage girls to choose life and walking alongside of them every step of the way while teaching at an inner city high school right after college, in every season of life the Lord provided ways for her to serve in pro-life ministry.

Laurelen began working for Speak for the Unborn in January of 2018 as Associate Director of Development, then was promoted to Executive Director in February of 2019. She formerly served weekly for two years with the sidewalk team in Louisville, KY. She is currently working to build a team and Network of churches where she now lives and attends church.

She is a graduate of Thomas A. Edison State University (B.A.) and also received a Master of Music in Music Education from Butler University at 19 years old. In addition to her ministry work with Speak for the Unborn, she works as a Birth Doula, Midwifery Assistant, and Student Midwife (CPM). She and her husband, Michael, live in Indianapolis, IN with their four children (Trippe, Olivia, Theodosia, and Avalyn), and are members at Pennington Park Church.

Matthew has served with Speak for the Unborn on the sidewalks of Louisville’s abortion clinic since 2018.

During his undergraduate degree, Matthew served as the president of Boyce College’s pro-life student organization and led a team to mobilize and assist pro-life efforts in Louisville and around the country.
