September 7 saw friends and family of Steve and Lynsey Auld gather with the congregation of Eden Baptist Church, Cambridge, for Steve’s ordination to pastoral ministry and induction as assistant pastor at Eden.
Steve and Lynsey have two young sons, Hudson and Elliot, and are from Northern Ireland. Steve played rugby for Ireland in the Under 19 Rugby World Cup in 2003. After graduating from Queen’s, Belfast, Steve served as youth pastor at Elmwood Presbyterian Church, Lisburn, from 2005 to 2009, before going to Madagascar with Africa Inland Mission as part of a church-planting team. From there he went to Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Illinois, where Don Carson was his academic advisor.
