Rev. Lynn Gardner (they/them/she/her) serves as co-minister in Schenectady, NY.

Prior to ministry, she ran a multicultural in-home day care program, and is grateful to continue to serve families with young children in a multi-generational congregation. She finds inspiration through participating in vibrant worship, collaborating for justice, and is humbled by the power of trust, vulnerability, and courage.
