PASTOR LEADERSHIP

PASTOR ROD WILKENING

PASTOR STEVE LYON

Pastor Steve has served the people of Hilltop Assembly of God as our Executive Pastor since 2018. He holds Ministerial Credentials with the Potomac Ministry Network of the Assemblies of God and has been involved with the Assemblies of God all his life. Steve has served in ministry for over 30 years as Associate Pastor, Youth Pastor, and Children’s Pastor in six of our Potomac Network churches. Steve is also a member of the PYN (Potomac Youth Network) leadership team, assisting with PYN youth camps, youth conventions and Fine Arts ministries. Steve was raised in Howard County, grew up attending church with his family at First Assembly of God in Laurel, MD and spent his summers in South Bethany, DE making lasting memories with his grandparents, parents, sister, cousins and friends at the beach. Steve still enjoys the serenity of the ocean, when time allows; and he cherishes quality time with family and friends. Steve met his true love, Gina, on a blind date (ask Gina about Steve’s watch), and they were married in July 1991 at Trinity Assembly of God in Lutherville, MD. Both Pastor Steve and Pastor Gina have a passionate heart for the people of our area and have a fervent desire for our community: to seize the life changing love of Jesus Christ through acceptance of Him, to experience the Dunamis power of God’s Holy Spirit through surrender to Him, and to connect personally with their Heavenly Father through a

lifelong relationship with Him.
