Pastor Cyle Young
Cyle and his wife Patricia started Icthus on January 5th 2002. They were following a path that God had laid before them to create a church in Springfield where people could become a true community, a "family". God gave them a vision to start a church that would not be judgemental, and where people from all walks of life, not just the wealthy, could worship God together. God has truly blessed the Young's and the church during their time here.
Cyle is a Springfield native, he attended Springfield Christian School, and graduated from Shawnee High School. Cyle attended the University of Michigan on a football scholarship, where he also joined the wrestling team. In 2001 Cyle moved back home to get married to Patricia (Thompson) a native of Solon, Ohio. Patricia graduated from Cedarville University, where they met on a blind date. They were married in the summer of 2001.
