The Greater Pittsburgh Community Leaders Prayer Breakfast was launched over 25 years ago by men and woman committed to praying for God’s blessing on our city and its leaders. Today, this Christ-centered event connects hundreds of influential leaders from every sector of our city, including business leaders, nonprofit leaders, church leaders and civic leaders.
Bradley J. Lingo is the 10th president of Grove City College, having returned in 2025 to lead his alma mater after a career in law and Christian higher education.
Before returning to Grove City, Lingo served as dean of Regent University School of Law, where he led the school through a season of significant growth. A scholar and advocate for constitutional law and religious liberty, he co-founded Regent’s Center for Constitutional Law and has worked to advance religious freedom through his scholarship and public advocacy. His writing has appeared in leading academic journals, popular press outlets, and Christian publications.
Prior to his academic career, Lingo was a partner at an international law firm,
representing major institutions in complex cases while also devoting significant time to pro bono and religious liberty work. That work continues to shape his public witness and calling.
A native of northeast Ohio, Lingo graduated first in his class from Grove City College, where he was active in campus leadership and ministry. He later earned his law degree, with honors, from Harvard Law School. Brad and his wife, Yvonne, have been married for twenty-four years and are the parents of three daughters.
