God is Great!
We are excited to welcome our new Pastor this summer!
Greetings in the name of our crucified and risen Lord! On Tuesday, April 29th, Pastor-Elect Kreitler joyfully received his call to serve as Pastor of St. John’s. He is originally from St. Louis, MO, where he studied for his undergraduate degree. He attended, and is currently finishing, his M.Div. at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, IN. During his vicarage (one-year internship) at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Gresham, OR, he had the opportunity to preach and teach at many churches, but especially in the nursing home where he was an assistant chaplain. He is happily married to a Wisconsin native and the Lord has blessed them with three children. In addition to reading and spending time with friends and family, he enjoys working on cars, hunting, woodworking, and playing sports. He is very eager to begin serving, but he first needs to finish his degree and move to Beloit from Fort Wayne this summer. Please pray for him and his family during this time of transition.
