Rev. Randal “Randy” Bratka
Pastor Randy Bratka and wife Branita Holbrook-Bratka were both born in Ohio but grew up and met in West Virginia. In December of 2019, they sold their home and moved to Ohio for Pastor Randy to work on completing his seminary degree as a returning student. They have recently reunited with the United Methodist Church after previous experiences including leading a congregation of the American Baptist Churches, USA tradition for over 7 years. Both have had wonderful past experiences in United Methodist churches and have even gone on Emmaus Walks themselves, and then returned to help lead other walks later on! Pastor Randy even felt the Lord initially call him to pastoral ministry during a sermon on Moses and the burning bush in a United Methodist church while in college!
