Max Lyons

Max Lyons is the Lead Pastor of Elan Church. He and Juliet previously served on staff at churches in London and Florida. In 2022 they moved to Naperville, IL and launched Elan with a big vision: to raise up passionate disciples of Jesus who lead a global move of God that shapes generations to come.

Max studied business at the University of Washington in Seattle, then trained for ministry at a Bible college in Australia. Right now he’s finishing his master’s degree in Biblical preaching at Moody Theological Seminary. What gets him out of bed is seeing people encounter Jesus, grow as disciples and become leaders who make a lasting impact.

Max and Juliet have four kids, and their home is loud, full and a lot of fun.
