Lyle currently resides in San Diego, CA and is the Youth Pastor at Mission Valley Christian Fellowship. He is an artist, accomplished photographer, philanthropist, and adventure seeker with a big heart. Lyle has a hard time saying "no" to those in need which makes him an indispensable part of this ministry.

Lyle has ministered to the mvcfNEXTchurch Youth Ministry for over 20 years and he has passed on to them the love of God and a sense of nature and adventure. Because of the amount of time he has spent dedicating his life to this age group, he has had the privilege of seeing these youth grow up - presiding at their weddings, seeing them start careers, and have children. Lyle is still in contact with many of the youth he has ministered to and is deeply loved by them.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

-Phillipians 4:6-7
