She served as the pianist for the Crusader Choir at Park Cities Baptist Church for 13 years and is a founding member of the PCBC Orchestra, where she has performed for over three decades. Her love of accompanying also led her to ensembles such as Sacred Song and the Children’s Chorus of Collin County. Pam currently plays with the New Life Symphony Orchestra—a collective of Christian musicians across the metroplex—and served on its Board for 10 years, including five as President. She frequently accompanies local high school choirs and students preparing for UIL competitions each spring.
