Paul Lemon was born into a pastor’s family and has known ministry all his life.  At the age of six, he accepted Christ as his Savior and Lord, and as a teenager, he knew God was calling him into music ministry. This call of God led him to pursue music degrees at Moody Bible Institute (BA Music Composition) and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Master of Music). 

With his giftedness in administration and his love for organization, systems, strategic planning, and development and implementation of all manner of programs and events, Dr. Paul Lemon serves in Christian higher education, currently as the Dean of Registration Services at Bluefield University. To better meet the academic requirements of this educational calling, he has earned additional degrees in Business (MBA; Western Governors University), Education (Ed.S.; Liberty University), and Ministry Leadership (D.Min.; Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary).

He and his wife Kiel met while they were both music majors at Moody, and they have been married for nearly twenty years.  They have two children, Josiah and Annika.

As a child, Paul lived in Florida, West Virginia, and Fairfax County, Virginia; while Kiel grew up on the plains of Nebraska. After graduation from Moody (Chicago) and their marriage, the Lemons lived in Fort Worth, Texas; southern Illinois; Franklin, Tennessee; Bluefield, West Virginia; and now Aurora, Colorado.

Paul enjoys home remodeling projects, building or repairing campers; riding motorcycle; creative work on the computer (web design, video, print materials); and making music on the piano or keyboard!
