Our Leadership
Pastor
My wife Jess and I moved to Berlin in 2023 from WA, USA. My role at Followers involves biblical preaching and teaching, pastoral care, and leadership. I believe that God desires everyone to find rest and renewal in Him through Bible-based instruction, compassionate help, and trustworthy guidance. These practices aren’t just a pastor’s duty, but reflect God’s personal love for people and concern for human flourishing. I am grateful to Jess for her daily co-labor, and to Moody Bible Institute and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in preparing me for ministry. We are excited to meet you and to follow Christ together!

Pastor and Children’s Ministry
My wife, Amber, and I are passionate about making disciples of all nations. We have served the Lord both in the States and overseas by strengthening churches and training leaders, and we are excited to be a part of what God is doing in Berlin among the international community. I am serving as a pastor here at Followers, and Amber is leading the children’s ministry. We look forward to serving you and your family as we follow Christ and grow in grace together!
J.P. & Amber
Deacons of Hospitality
We come from the USA and Japan. God brought our lives together in California, where we first met before marrying. After struggling to find our place in churches and communities there and later in Washington, God led us to Berlin. We were not sure why, until we became connected with the wonderful group of people planting this church. Being part of a new church plant in eastern Berlin is something we never expected or imagined, but we’re so very thankful for the opportunity to grow and serve God where he has placed us. Our hope is to extend a warm welcome to newcomers as they experience the grace, truth, and love of Christ.
