Lyn Peden

Lyn grew up in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire attending her local church, St Kentigern’s. She became a Christian in her youth and joined the church at 16. She grew in her faith thanks to her local Youth Fellowship Group. Training as a nurse took her to Glasgow and to her new home church in Castlemilk. It was here, encouraged by the Minister and Deacon that she began to help plan and prepare evening services and local joint services. A call to Ministry followed and Lyn attended Glasgow University for 4 years to attain her BD. Her first charge was in Penilee St Andrew’s in the south side of Glasgow. Three years into Ministry and her charge was united with St Nicholas, Cardonald to become St Andrew and St Nicholas. In 2020, mid Covid, the call to Tarbert Loch Fyne and Kilberry linked with Skipness came and she and her husband, Gordon, moved to their new home in Argyll. In 2023 she became Minister of Tarbert Loch Fyne and Kilberry linked with Mid Kintyre and Gigha, North Kintyre for short! She is currently serving 2 congregations with 5 places of worship in the north half of the Kintyre peninsula. Lyn and Gordon love Argyll and enjoy exploring the beautiful scenery with their cocker spaniel, Poppy.
