Rev. Dr. Bryan Katz, Campus Pastor

About Rev. Dr. Bryan Katz

Rev. Dr. Bryan Katz earned his Master of Arts in Religion and Pastoral Ministry Certificate from the Institute of Lutheran Theology in addition to completing seminary courses through Luther Seminary.  Prior to accepting the call at Luther Memorial Lutheran Church to serve The Well, 

Pastor Bryan was the Pastor at New Mt. Zion Lutheran Church in Blacksburg, Virginia.  Pastor Bryan also serves a leadership role in the Virginia Synod, serving as the Synodical Coordinator for Campus Ministry. 


Pastor Bryan is not new to campus ministry with The Well.  He discerned a call into pastoral ministry by serving as the Lay Campus Minister for The Well in 2018 and 2019.  Pastor Bryan’s passion is working with college students in exploring their faith lives, providing support during college life events, and providing a safe and affirming place for all students to be part of a community with diverse opinions, backgrounds, and ideas.


Pastor Bryan has a strong connection to Virginia Tech, having graduated with his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering and he serves on the faculty as a Professor of Practice in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department.  Pastor Bryan was introduced to Lutheranism, the ELCA, and Lutheridge (a Lutheran Camp in Arden, North Carolina) by his wife, Katie.  Pastor Bryan and Katie are blessed with two children, Emily and Ethan. 


You can reach Pastor Bryan at Pastorbryan@vt.edu.

About The Well

The Well is a Reconciling in Christ ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Our home congregation while we study at VT is Luther Memorial Lutheran Church and we are incredibly thankful for their continuous support and love. We welcome all to join us in fellowship and service to the community to grow in our own relationships with God as well as in the friendships we have with one another. 


During the academic year, students meet in the Pavilion or the Lutheran Campus Center at Luther Memorial for service, fellowship, and worship in Christ.  We have many activities planned throughout the year, including service projects, Bible Study, Sunday lunches and Tuesday dinners, and more - all Virginia Tech students are welcome!   We are so excited to meet you and welcome you into The Well!  Feel free to email us at thewell@lmlc.org and follow us on Facebook and on Instagram 

 

Because God loves us and calls us to love, we welcome and invite all to engage and grow in faith. Through discipleship and active service in our community, we are able to intentionally deepen our relationships with God and one another.

The Well

Community Service

God calls us to mission in the world. Throughout the year we lead service projects around the Blacksburg area. This fall, we will lend our hearts and hands to Micah’s Closet ( Micah’s Closet provides one week’s worth of new clothes to 25 elementary school children at Eastern Montgomery Elementary School),  and Football Parking. 

Social Justice

Called to do justice, it is vital for us to be visible advocates for the marginalized, to stand up against oppression and share the liberating love of Christ. 

Study

Studying the scriptures and wrestling with how faith intersects with the intellectual and emotional challenges of college life is an important part of our ministry. Join us for dinner on select Tuesday nights during the fall, followed by a Bible Study led by Pastor Monica. 

Gather

During the academic year, students meet in the Pavilion or at the campus center at Luther Memorial for fun, food, and fellowship in Christ. We also provide listening spaces as we support one another, as a community, as we navigate these difficult times in our personal lives and in the deeply divided culture surrounding us. For directions or further information call  540-951-1000.
