    Art Lyons
    Facilities and Pastor

    Art Lyons felt called to the ministry, after his conversion at the age of 20, which saved him from a life of drug abuse, alcoholism and periodic jail time. Five years later, in 1980, he graduated from the Horizon School of Evangelism and he has been in some type of full-time ministry (volunteer and professional) ever since. He currently divides his time between ministry at Canyon Community Church and various correctional institutions. In his 38 years of ministry, Pastor Art has been ordained and licensed with the following churches: Calvary Chapel, Cornerstone Christian Community, and the Christian & Missionary Alliance, all in Chula Vista, California. Pastor Art has a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology, Master’s Degree in Counseling and a Doctorate in Ministry.
