Ken Lippold - Lead Pastor
Ken was born and raised in the Chicago area. He studied at Moody Bible Institute and Wheaton College Graduate School. After working for Chapelstreet Church in the Chicago suburbs for 8 years as the pastor for university students he and his wife Emmy relocated to Southern California where he continued to pastor university students at a church in Oceanside, CA.
In 2013 Ken and Emmy moved to Liverpool, England with the plan to “test the waters” for one year and see if the Lord was calling them to church planting and long-term ministry in Europe. After a year of serving at Christ Church Liverpool as a volunteer pastor, the church hired Ken onto the pastoral staff as co-pastor and at the same time commissioned him to launch the Alliance for Transatlantic Theological Training (AT3). In 2020, they moved to Los Angeles to help start Christ Church Los Angeles. Ken continues to lead the efforts of AT3 as President alongside his role as Lead Pastor at CCLA.
He enjoys food, reading and loves road cycling so much he rode all the way across the USA in 2003. He met his wife Emmy outside of a coffee shop and they still drink coffee together every day.
