Hi! My name is Lynn Barger Elliott. I’m a Faith Leader, Life Design Coach, Consultant and Author.

I am a Presbyterian pastor and have served five congregations. Currently, I serve as Co-Pastor of a congregation in Marin County, California with my husband, Mark.

I am a co-founder and Life Design Coach with the Miracle Year Project.

I am a consultant with the Compelling Preaching Initiative, funded by the Lilly Endowment and coordinated through the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship. 

For 13 years, I was an Affiliate Professor at Calvin University and taught Ministry Leadership, Intergenerational Theory, and Youth and Family Ministry on their main campus and the Handlon Maximum Security Prison campus.

I hold certifications in End-of-Life Doula Professional training from the University of Vermont, in Nonprofit Executive Leadership through the Mendoza School of Business at Notre Dame, and in the Create a Happy and Meaningful Life course at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business Executive Education program. I have a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Bachelor of Science in philosophy from Wheaton College.

Together my husband and I have raised three adult children, who we celebrate, cheer on, and love to visit in NYC, Chicago, and San Francisco.
