From the President and CEO

Bart Day, MDiv, MBA

Hello!

My name is Bart Day, and I serve as President and CEO of Lutheran Church Extension Fund. I’ve previously served as a parish pastor, headmaster of an elementary school and executive to oversee domestic mission work. I also serve on various nonprofit boards that serve the church and world.

I enjoy hiking, attending sports events (Go Blues!) and concerts and spending time with my wife, Julie and our six children and two dogs.
I truly believe in the satisfaction that comes from hard work, the enjoyment of a job well done and the beauty of joy and laughter in working alongside similarly motivated people.
