Our Church Leadership
Senior Pastor - Rev’d Jon Haines
Jon and Gaby and their children moved to Leipzig in the summer of 2022 from England, having served in churches in Eastbourne and London. Before ordination, Jon’s career took him from drumming to corporate finance. He has swum with sharks, almost shared a stage with The Killers and managed to learn three dead languages. Alongside the elders, Jon leads LEC, with a particular focus on the morning service. He loves seeing people find their identity in Jesus and hopes you will find a home at LEC.
Assistant Pastor - Larry Norman
Larry Norman has been serving Leipzig English Church since 2015. He has a particular focus on the evening service and student ministry, as well as the InterAction Germany youth camp. He is also involved in Evangelium 21 and the Jungpredigerworkshop. He is married to Sinead, and dad to Zoe and Eden. Larry loves old books, fresh coffee and helping people enjoy Jesus through his word.

A Congregation of the Church of England
With our roots in the Anglican tradition, we aim to be a church where Christians from all backgrounds, as well as people exploring the faith, can feel at home. Many comment on the warm and friendly atmosphere on Sundays, and enjoy the blending of old and new, traditional and contemporary.
