Jerry and Ulrike Lillard

Senior Pastors and Worship Leader

We’ve been doing life together for 46 years, with four children, eleven grandchildren, and a lot of life lived along the way.

I came to Jesus in 1976 while serving with the U.S. Army in South Korea. God pulled me out of addiction and a self-destructive life and completely changed my direction. A few years later, while stationed in Germany, Ulli and I met and married—and we’ve been on this journey together ever since.

Eventually, following God took us out of the military, into ministry in Germany, and then to Prague in 1996. What began as a step of faith became a life we could never have planned for ourselves.

Thirty years later, Prague is home, Life Church is family, and we’re still excited to see what God will do next.

Youth Pastors and Translators and Head Administrator

The Love of God has changed our lives in tremendous ways during our youth and young adulthood. This is one of the reasons why we have dedicated our lives to serve the upcoming generations at LIFE CHURCH. As youth pastors we believe that next generation will turn the world upside down. It is our great honour to serve God and to all young people at LIFE Church. Our hearts are already linked with so many young souls and we are blessed to see how they are growing up in love and caring for each other. It is our passion is to help all the youth find God's amazing love and purpose for their lives.

Assistant Pastor, and Translator, and Children's Pastor

Husband and wife, parents, ministers, teachers and students at the same time. To us, Life and Church are inseparable. Serving in the church (serving God and His people = you) is not something that is isolated from the "daily life". It is an honor and a joy to be a part of the wonderful LifeChurch family. Come and see for yourselves!

Assistant Pastor

I gave my life to Christ during the times of communist totalitarianism and I still remain in awe of His incredible goodness. My vision and philosophy is to serve God in the church, that walks in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. It is also my desire that the church will fulfill the prophecy of Haggai (2: 6-9). I am doing everything possible in my ministry to lead and build people on Christ's and the apostolic teachings.

Children's Leader and Translator

We strive to be guides for children on their journey to God. Whether we are reading the Bible at home with our own children, learning new things together during Sunday school at church, or singing praises somewhere at a summer camp. Children are a reflection of God's love and curiosity, and Jesus Himself wants them to be able to come to Him. That is why we want to be helpful to them in this; they are our new generation.

Come and meet us on a Sunday.
