Moses Bratrud is an Account Manager with Concordia Plan Services, serving ministries in the Minnesota North and South, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin North districts. Moses joined the Ministry Engagement Team in 2025, bringing with him his experience as a Director of Strategy at a Christian ministry and an account manager at a technology firm. 

He earned a Master’s Degree in History from the University of Edinburgh (UK), and a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts and Culture from New Saint Andrews College.

The Bratrud family attends University Lutheran Chapel (LCMS) in Minneapolis, where Moses serves as an elder. Moses enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. When he isn’t working, you’ll find him off sailing, biking or reading a good book. 

Moses’s favorite Bible verse is: “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth. And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me.”  Job 19:25-27 NKJV
