Our Pastors

Revs. Chelsea and Jeff Lampen are ordained ministers of Word and Sacrament from the Reformed Church in America. Prior to moving to German, they served as co-pastors in rural Illinois, and then as program directors and as missionaries in Romania. They have three children: Lorelei, Caspian, and Evander, and love walking alongside families and individuals through life together. They specialize in hospitality and pastoral care. Chelsea also works with the World Communion of Reformed Churches, specifically assisting the CANAAC Region. She also has her masters of social work, and enjoys listening to others.

Jeff, Chelsea, and the family enjoy playing board games, cooking good food, and reading books that bring joy and make your imagination come to life. Thus far, their family’s favorite places in Hannover are the Zoo, Wakitu, and every single Kondetorei they walk into :D. They look forward to getting to know you better!
