John Balthasar Brungardt (born July 10, 1958) is the sixth Roman Catholic bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dodge City, Kansas.
Bishop Brungardt was born on July 10, 1958 in Salina, Kansas to Francis Balthasar and Virginia (née Burton) Brungardt, where he was one of six brothers and sisters in a strong Catholic family. He chose his Confirmation Saint as Saint Joseph because he is a great role model for Catholic men and boys. He graduated from Benedictine College with a Bachelor of Science degree in physics with a minor in mathematics in 1980. He furthered his studies at Iowa State University, earning a Master of Science in physics in 1983, and at Kansas State University, earning a Doctor of Philosophy in curriculum and instruction. Brungardt had his "first career" as a science and computers teacher, moving to Wichita, Kansas in 1985 and teaching at Wichita Collegiate School and then at Kapaun Mt. Carmel High School.
In 1990, Brungardt's mother died and that caused him to go through a spiritual reawakening, where he went to Fr. Paul Coakley for spiritual direction and vocational discernment. He entered priestly formation at Pontifical College Josephinum, where he earned a Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Moral Theology in 1998.
