Denis Lyle was born into a godly home in Banbridge, Co. Down N. Ireland. His parents took him to the local Baptist Church, and through its ministry he was brought to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Training and Service
As a young man he responded to the call of God to Christian service. Entering the Irish Baptist College (Belfast 1972) he graduated three years later. On the completion of his Biblical studies he received a call to minister the Word of God in Carryduff Baptist Church, just outside Belfast. There he exercised a fruitful ministry for twelve years. In 1987 Denis began his ministry in the Iron Hall Assembly, Belfast, pastoring the work there for eleven years. In 1998 he moved to Lurgan Baptist Church, where as a teenager he had been greatly influenced by the powerful ministry of Pastor Willie Mullan. Never did he think that one day he would occupy the same pulpit.

Denis has had the privilege of ministering God's Word in Australia, South Africa, and Romania as well as conducting missions and conferences in his own country. He has an M.A. and a Ph.D. from the European Theological Seminary.
