Meet Our pastor

Hello, my name is John Lyons.  My wife, Susan, and I were actively involved in our churches in Cornell and Odell, Illinois, where I also served as part-time clergy for Trinity Parish in Livingston County.  Coming from small communities, we felt called to continue our ministry in Pittsfield, Illinois and began serving at the Pittsfield United Methodist Church on July 1, 2023.  

Since arriving, our time here has been exciting, rewarding and deeply fulfilling.  Together, we are blessed with a blended family of four children and several grandchildren who bring us great joy. We have truly enjoyed becoming part of this welcoming and supportive community, and it is an honor to serve both the church and the people of Pike County.  




you were never meant to carry this alone

Life can become heavy.  We carry financial pressure, family problems, health concerns, past regrets, and fears about the future.  We tell ourselves we can handle it, but anxiety grows when we try to carry everything alone.  In this message, we'll discover how God invites us to bring Him every burden and walk through life with Christ beside us.  You don't have to keep pretending you're fine.  Maybe it's time to put something down. 

God's blessings to you and your family

- Pastor John Lyons
