LEAD PASTORS
![title-lyons@2x](http://myzaochurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/title-lyons@2x.png)
Jared and Ali Lyons are the Lead Pastors at Zao Church. They love God & love people. After serving in ministry for the last 2 decades, they felt the call to start a life-giving church in the Lake Travis area. Austin is one of the fastest growing cities that draws people from all over the world. With 75% of the population unchurched & nearly 200 people moving to Austin a day, Zao Church has a massive mission field. This is the time & place for God to build a life-giving church to reach the people of Austin.
