Rev. Steven Lyle grew up in North Augusta, S.C. He felt the call to ministry while working for Campus Crusade for Christ as he earned his Psychology degree from Georgia Southern University. Pastor Steve went on to earn his Master in Divinity from The Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 1981. He served churches in Carrollton, Ellijay, and North Fayette and was large part of starting Trinity UMC in Cartersville. Pastor Steve retired in 2022 from a 39 year Career as an Elder of the United Methodist Church. In early 2023, he responded to a call to be an interim Pastor of Holly Springs UMC and later that year, much to our joy, became our Appointed Pastor.
Steve is married to Donna Clayton Lyle, and they have 4 children and 5 grandchildren in their blended family. Pastor Steve is active in many Civic organizations in Cartersville, Georgia, where he and Donna make their home.
