Kathy Flynn

Pioneer Minister – The Sanctuary, Carterton

Hi all,

I'm Kathy originally from the North End of Birkenhead and Liverpool. I was brought up an Irish Catholic during which I lived as a young adult for two years in a Christian community called 'New Creation' run by the Christian brothers, doing outreach to schools across England, Wales and Ireland.

I trained as a Registered General Nurse and my career saw me becoming an Intensive Care nurse at the Walton Centre which is a specialist unit in Neurosurgery and Neurology where I gained a BSc in Critical care nursing. Also enjoying a spell on a general intensive care ward as well as a Cardiac intensive care ward.

I found myself in my late 20s finding a spiritual home in the Methodist Church. I quickly became deeply involved in worship becoming a worship leader. Then a couple of years later after leaving nursing I became a lay worker during this time recognising my call to ministry, completing the local preachers course whilst candidating for ministry. I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist, I love music and fitness, enjoying walking, weightlifting and boxing. I have a passion and heart for those that are yet to know Christ, there is nothing better than to come alongside a person in love and watch God at work revealing himself to them. I am a pioneer minister at the Sanctuary in Carterton and in the community, seeking where God is at work and being ready to join in.
