Retreat Leader

Pam Honeychurch

After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi with a BS in Computer Science, Pam was commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force. She served at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, MT as the Executive Assistant in an Air Refueling Squadron, and then at Altus Air Force Base, in Altus, OK as a Command Post Controller and Training Officer. While at MAFB, she earned a Master's in Information Systems from the University of Montana. After leaving military service, Pam relocated to Pittsburgh where she worked for 9 years at a large law firm in information technology. After some years of arm twisting, she reluctantly became the secretary at her church, where she worked for 11½ years, while simultaneously working as the Pittsburgh District Administrative Assistant for 7 years. She realized that working for the UMC is her call to ministry. Due to restructuring in the Western PA Annual Conference, in late 2023, Pam is now the Administrative Assistant for the Butler, Franklin, Indiana and Johnstown Districts. ​
