Rev. Pam McShane, Bridge Pastor

Pam retired in June 2022, after serving for 22 years as the pastor of Tree of Life Church PCUSA in Springfield, Delaware County. During that time, the church changed significantly. It currently has a focus toward ministry with people with disabilities and their families and hosts Our Community Cup, a weekly coffeehouse, for that community. Pam has been active in the Presbytery of Philadelphia for many years and in many roles. Most recently, she served on the Commission on Ministry. In "retirement", she coaches clergy, moderates sessions, and consults with congregations going through various kinds of transitions, helping them discern and live out God's call to them in this particular time and place. Last summer she completed a 3-month bridge pastorate at Marple Presbyterian Church when their pastor left to take a new call.

 Pam is a graduate of Bryn Mawr College and Princeton Theological Seminary. 

 Pam and her husband Brian moved to North Coventry Township outside of Pottstown in November 2023 and are enjoying exploring their new neighborhood with their dogs. She has three adult children and five grandchildren and enjoys spending time with all of them!


Rev. Dr. Nancy Holt Timothy, Parish Associate


Nancy has an M. Div., from Palmer Seminary; a Th.M. from Princeton Seminary (in Christian Social Ethics), and a D. Min (with an emphasis on Spirituality) from Pittsburgh Seminary. She loved doing interim ministry for almost 20 years both in Philadelphia Presbytery and in South Jersey. Her last interim stint was from 2000-2002 at Marple Presbyterian Church. From 2002 until her retirement in 2021, she served as pastor at the Lansdowne Presbyterian Church. Her passions are preaching and mission--she truly loves serving God's people in need (whatever and wherever that need may be!).

 

Nancy was recently widowed--her husband Joe died on April 20, 2023 after a long bout with Alzheimer's Disease. She is the mother of three sons: Chad, who lives in Pittsburgh; Scott, who with his wonderful wife, Cathy and their five kids live in Broomall, and Kevin and his wonderful wife, Kim, live in Glen Mills with their two children. 

 

Nancy loves to read, to spend time at the beach, and to walk. She also loves meeting new people and making new friends, so she'd be delighted if you reach out and get to know her.
