Bryan's Story

Bryan Loritts - Lead Pastor, Equipping Center Director, Engage Memphis Fund

At an early age, Bryan Loritts embraced Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Always cognizant of the call of God on his life into ministry, he enrolled in Philadelphia Biblical University (formerly known as Philadelphia College of Bible) where he earned his Bachelors of Science in Bible and Pastoral Studies. While there, Bryan was licensed to preach the Gospel, and shortly after graduating was ordained.

After graduating from college, Bryan moved to California where he served as the Pastor of New Members at Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, California, and simultaneously enrolled into Talbot School of Theology where he graduated with honors earning an M.A. in Theology. Shortly after graduating from Talbot he went to Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, California, where he was Pastor of the Warehouse, a ministry to GenX. He took over a ministry of 25, and in a little less than two years saw it grow to over 500.

From Lake Avenue Church Bryan and his family moved out to Charlotte, North Carolina where he served as the Young Adults Pastor at Calvary Church where he gave oversight to a growing and thriving ministry reaching the young adult community in Charlotte.

Currently, Bryan is the Lead Pastor of Fellowship Bible Church Memphis, in Tennessee- a multicultural church ministering to the evolving community of urban Memphis. Bryan also is an adjunct professor at Crichton College, teaching in their Bible and Theology department. In addition to the degrees that Bryan has earned, he's given himself to continuing education. This commitment has led him to study at places like Oxford University. In addition to serving the community of Memphis, Bryan's ministry takes him across the country as he speaks to thousands annually at churches, conferences and retreats. He is also the author of the book God on Paper; as well as a contributing author for the book entitled Great Preaching.

Bryan 's unique ability to communicate the deep truths of Scripture in a relevant uncompromising manner has helped to reach a generation embedded in postmodernism. Bryan and his wife Korie also serve together on the Family Life speaker team.  This ministry takes them across the country as they speak at Weekend to Remember conferences, joining in the fight for healthy godly marriages. Yet as passionate as he is about communicating God's truths both locally and abroad, spoken and written, his greater passion is his wife Korie, and their three sons Quentin, Myles and Jaden.
