FROM ST.JOHN’S LUTHERAN CHURCH, GALVA – February 1, 2026
Brothers and Sisters in Christ
On Sunday, February 1, 2026, the Voter’s Assembly of St. John’s Lutheran Church of Galva, Iowa met to elect a Pastor. After calling upon the Holy Spirit for guidance and deliberation over the names on our call list, our congregation unanimously voted to extend a call to your pastor, the Rev. Bradley Ketcham.
As Pastor Ketcham considers his dicision we ask you to join us in praying that the Holy Spirit may guide him and that the will of God may be done. Should Pastor Ketcham be led to accept our call, we respectfully ask you to grant him a peaceful release so that he may take up his new responsibilities here in Galva.
May the Lord Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, guide and bless us all as we minister in His name.
With you in His service,
Jan Brandhorst, Chairman, Call Committee
Delayne Johnson, Church President
