Meet Rev. Lynn Leonard…In Her Own Words

“I grew up in Ft Lauderdale. I received my BSN in Nursing from Barry College and worked in the Surgical ICU, mostly in Miami. While I was pregnant with my son, I was a Head Nurse/ Nursing Supervisor in a Rehab Unit that specialized in Head Trauma, Spinal Cord Injuries, and Childhood Drowning.”  

“I had always been active in my church, and it was then that I discerned my call to ministry and was consecrated a deacon in Christian Education. But God was not finished, as I discerned a call to be an elder. I received my MDiv from Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary, and I have served churches in Lake Worth and Davie. My last appointment was at St. Luke's in Saint Petersburg, where I served for 10 years until retirement in June of 2022.”

“I am married to George and have a son who teaches at Temple Univ. I am also a dog mom to two very spoiled pups.”
