Our Staff Team
We have an incredible staff family here with Cru at Virginia Tech. These men and women serve to ensure that every Hokie has an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel. You can read a little about them here, but they would love to meet you in person at some of our Cru events on campus.

Rebecca Lansford
Rebecca graduated from Virginia Tech in 2013 with a degree in Political Science. She has been serving with Cru since then and stepped into the campus director role in 2018. She loves being a Blacksburg townie and working with the amazing students at Virginia Tech, to reach the campus with the Gospel. Rebecca enjoys going on adventures, all things Johnny Depp, a good cup of coffee, and teaching spin classes.

Mike & Linda Montgomery
Mike and Linda Montgomery were high school sweethearts who married in 1970 and spent their next 23 years moving around the world as an Air Force family. In 2005, they joined Cru Military staff, applying their military experience and love for God’s word to minister to active duty families. Mike and Linda transitioned to Cru Valor at Virginia Tech in 2017, focusing on discipling ROTC cadets and developing outreach to military veterans returning to campuses. They are the parents of two married children and, if asked, are sure to tell you about their 10 grandchildren.
Evan & Jennifer Rogers
Evan and Jennifer serve with Cru’s Greek Ministry, reaching sororities and fraternities with the gospel. Jennifer served with Cru in Richmond for a few years after graduating from VCU in 2021. Evan graduated from Liberty University in 2022 and then made the move to Blacksburg to begin serving with Greeks. A few years in, they met, were married shortly after that, and have been serving together on our team since Fall 2024! Evan and Jennifer are most passionate about evangelism and sharing with those not yet reached with the gospel. They both love being active (hiking, weight lifting, and all of the sports) and Evan loves all things Boston (go Celtics)!
Don & Katrina Hines
Don & Katrina graduated from Bible college together and have been married since 2003. Katrina taught 2nd grade and Don church planted for 10 years before they joined the Cru team at VT to focus on the cadet ministry in 2015. They give leadership to Valor (Cru’s ROTC ministry). They are passionate about helping young people launch into life with an eternal perspective. They also couldn’t be more proud of their kids and they all live out what it means to serve as a family. They are both from Michigan and are big fans of “Lake Life.” Don doesn’t just drink coffee, he roasts and crafts his own. Katrina used to manage her own classroom as a teacher, now she manages her own crew as a homeschool mom.
