Meet Our Team
Peter Lyon
Peter grew up in the city of Philadelphia and attended Pennsylvania State University, where he graduated in 2007 with a degree in History. At Penn State, he met his wife (and best friend) Sarah, who graduated with a degree in Photography in 2008. They were married quickly after school and moved back to the Philadelphia area. After a number of years working in too many different fields, Peter felt the call to ministry and from 2014-2019 he worked at Covenant Church in Doylestown, PA while simultaneously completing a Master of Divinity at Missio Seminary. Peter and Sarah have two wonderful children, Wesley and Mina.
Emily Workman
Emily grew up in Raleigh, NC, and graduated from NC State University with a degree in Science Education for the Middle Grades. During her time at NC State, Emily grew close friendships in RUF through small group studies, ministry and worship team. She is thrilled to be a part of God's work in Newport News with students at CNU! Some of Emily's favorite ways to spend time are singing (spontaneous worship nights speak to her heart), any measure of spending time outside (kayaking, walking/hiking, sitting, fishing), and trying new things!
