GREETINGS FROM PASTOR FORD

Welcome to Albright-Bethune United Methodist Church!  It is a joy to serve as the Pastor of this diverse congregation!  While I have lived in State College for 16 years, I am relatively new at Albright-Bethune, having been appointed in January, 2018. 

A native of Northumberland, PA, my ministry journey of around 40 years has included pastorates in Carlisle, Harrisburg, Middletown, and State College.  Prior to retirement, I served as Superintendent of the State College District of the UM Church.  Retirement has offered me the opportunity to serve in a few “interim” appointments.

In addition to being a Pastor, I’m mother of two adult daughters and “Grammy” to two young grandchildren who live nearby!   My favorite things are going to the beach, kayaking, reading, and working in the yard.

On behalf of the Albright-Bethune church family, I’d like to extend an invitation to you to worship with us. 

May God’s peace be with you!

Pastor Pamela Haddon Ford
