Having been an ordained pastor for nearly twenty-five years, Pam has been pastor of churches in Los Angeles, Texas and Pennsylvania, and in 2005-06 served Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church as Director of Adult Discipleship.

Before moving to San Diego in 2005, Pam served as an Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology and Dean of Students at the local Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Pittsburgh.

The Powells have three grown children, two of whom are married. Their older son and his wife are attorneys in Los Angeles, and have two children. The Powells’ second son, a graduate of Fuller Seminary, is an associate pastor (to be ordained) – planting a Presbyterian church in the Washington, D.C. area. Both their daughter and her husband, graduates of Princeton Seminary, are pursuing doctorates in church history and theology in the U.K. at St. Andrews and Cambridge and are candidates for ordination in the PC(USA).

Pam is a graduate of Miami University with a Bachelors in English; a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary with an Masters of Divinity; and a graduate of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary with a Doctor of Ministry degree.
