I’m Chris and I’m honored to lead both our staff and elder teams at Frontline. I came to Germany in 2017 as a pastoral resident (think internship), and grew into my current role. I grew up in Moscow, PA, USA; that’s middle of the Poconos. Prior to moving overseas, I completed degrees at Bucknell University and Dallas Theological Seminary, but I never want to stop learning. My wife Kelly and I have lived overseas since 2014. We enjoy life as a family in Germany with three daughters and one son. We are passionate about books, making special memories, and telling people about Jesus. If you attend Frontline, I look forward to meeting you and hearing how God has been at work in your life.

I am honored to serve as an Associate Pastor at Frontline Community Church. Originally from New York City, I moved to Southern California at the age of 10. At 18, I joined the United States Air Force, gaining invaluable experiences that shaped my character and values. Now retired, I enjoy life as an empty-nester with my wife, Lourdes, who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and volunteers alongside me in ministry. Together, we are deeply passionate about faith, family, and community. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Educational Studies and am currently completing a Master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling. My journey in faith has been enriched by my experiences, and I am dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of others.

Although I joined Frontline in 2015, it’s been my great privilege to serve as Frontline’s Women’s Ministry Director since June 2018. I’m originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where I met my husband of 30 years, Lloyd Malone. We have four young adult children who keep us on our toes and on our knees! Our family is a “nerdy” bunch with a passion for all things related to science and technology. I’m a veteran of the U.S. Air Force and a graduate of Texas A&M, where I majored in Engineering Technology. As a breast cancer survivor, I enjoy sharing my personal testimonies of God’s faithfulness throughout my ten-year journey. In my down time, I’m energized by DIY hobbies like 3-D printing and jewelry making. These creative outlets allow me to bless the people around me with the work of my hands.

I moved to Germany with my wife Annie in 2018. We love our church community as well as our neighbors and this unique opportunity to live on mission and raise our 3 boys in a diverse multicultural environment. At Frontline I currently oversee our Worship team and online ministry (website & social media). I’m also grateful to be a part of our preaching team. Prior to joining Frontline’s pastoral staff, I served as worship leader of a church plant in Portland, OR (where I grew up). Though a difficult season, that time along with my training at Boise Bible College helped foster a love for God’s people and prepare me for pastoral ministry. Along with music I enjoy hiking, bicycling, playing board games, and sipping coffee over a conversation.

My family and I have been a part of Frontline for 12 years since we moved to Germany and we love serving the Lord, whenever and however we can. When I am not mixing sound at Frontline, you can find me recording and producing worship songs at my studio. I love playing any instrument but especially I am passionate on the drums. I am certified Audio engineer from Hofa College of Audio Engineering and Music production. Bedside my passion for music I also love to dive deep in the word of God, so I started seminary from Explore Nations Bible College.

Erin has a background in hospitality and culinary arts. She feels that sharing a meal with other Christians is a great way to build community and grow in the Lord. As a mother of two rambunctiously beautiful children, she loves being around kids of all ages and serving the Lord through them.
