Jim will be sharing his journey about how his birthparents who were natives of Ireland chose to place him in the home of an American family.

 
Jim Lyon grew up in Seattle, where he served as an Associate and then Senior Pastor of the Fairview Church (1977-1991), a congregation of the Church of God (with general offices in Anderson, Indiana). Since 1991, he has served as Senior Pastor of the Madison Park Church of God, located northeast of Indianapolis.
 
Lyon graduated from Seattle Pacific University in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science, and then entered the University of Washington Law School. Always fascinated by politics and the public interest, he has worked in many civic and church-related fields, even completing a brief term as a member of the Washington State House of Representatives in 1982.
 
But it is Christian ministry that owns his heart. It is the conviction that Jesus is at work in this world, redeeming, transforming, and perfecting us that has molded his life and vocation more than any other. Helping people see Jesus has become his life’s work. Articulate pastor, teacher and motivational speaker, Jim is driven by a mission to carry the hope of Jesus to all people everywhere. In 1996, through a ministry partnership with Madison Park Church of God, he became the host of CBH ViewPoint, the weekly English broadcast of the CBH radio ministry of the Church of God. CBH is heard in several different languages reaching every continent but Antarctica.
 
Lyon and his wife, Maureen, have four sons Jacob, Peter, Andrew and Nathanael. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, jogging, and traveling. His interests cover a wide range of music (Prokofiev to Aretha Franklin) and reading (Bible, biographies, history, and current events). Chocolate ice cream is, sadly, his Achilles’ heel.
