Luke Lavin (He/Him)
Doctor of Philosophy
Master of Divinity
Bachelor of Arts and Science
Director of Campus Ministry
Luke was raised on the Olympic Peninsula and took the ferry across the Puget Sound daily to attend O'Dea High School on First Hill. After finishing his Undergraduate degree at Gonzaga in Spokane, he spent two years immersed in the rich culture of the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia as a Jesuit Volunteer. The gift, love and grace he experienced there were transformational and inspirational in his vocation to ministry and Jesuit education. Luke is a two-time alum of Gonzaga University and earned his MDiv from the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara at Berkeley. Perhaps the greatest gift of his Jesuit education was meeting his wife and best friend Amy as an Undergrad and the three daughters they are graced to explore each day with. Luke is passionate about his catholic faith and its intersection with Justice, building more inclusive communities, and multiple ways the sacred breaks through in plural identities, beliefs, expressions and viewpoints. Luke has a deep love of the mountains, trail-running, collecting 90s backpacker hip-hop vinyl, novels, poetry, and spaces of genuine connection that allow us to ask our most profound and authentic questions.
