Lynn Presson began her journey with Marketplace Chaplains nearly a decade ago. She followed her husband into this unique calling and, side by side, they served thousands of employees across the state of Texas for many years. He passed away, but together they shared a love that stretched over 37 years and gave Lynn four beautiful children. Before children came along, she was in radio and communications. Post-children, she used her growing knowledge and love of parenting kids to help grow a preschool ministry in her local church. Throughout her 20’s and 30’s she worked in children’s and women’s ministry. Her passion for loving and understanding all ages and types of people continued to grow, so she took on a new role as activities coordinator for senior adults in an assisted living community. With this experience,  Lynn realized her joy in life was heightened by encouraging ALL types of people from all ages, stages, and walks of life. This is why she truly felt called and equipped to take on the challenge of walking alongside employees from every age and walk of life in the marketplace. She extends her care and compassion to her clients on a daily basis. Lynn joined us as a part-time chaplain, served as an area team leader, moved into the role of full-time chaplain, and is currently a chaplain coach in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
