                     | Rev. Pam'la Cowan, our Pastor, grew up in Missouri.  She attended Seminary at McCormick Theological Seminary and
                           has served churches in Illinois, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.   She is currently serving on the Congregational Development Team with Giddings-Lovejoy Presbytery and is a commissioner
                           to the Synod of Mid-America.   She is now serving the Son Light Parish, a partnership of three churches:  here, in Ironton; in Fredericktown; and
                           in Park Hills. The Son Light Parish hopes to, in this new partnership, better serve three communities here in South East Missouri!   The Pastor works with the Arcadia Ministerial Alliance and the local food pantry here in Ironton.   Our Church Secretary is in on Wednesday afternoons and is much more than a secretary - she is a member of our church.   Our Church Musician is a wonderful asset to our Worship services here in Ironton - and has a lovely singing voice as
                           well.  (She's also a proud grandparent to Noah!)

                                       | Meet Pastor Reverend Pam'la Cowan. Pastor Pam'la, recently returned to our area, having served a church on the East
                                             Coast, near Philadelphia.  She is filling our pulpit, moderating our Session, and providing emergency care for our members.  Her
                                             dedication to her faith and to the church is a strength that we all benefit from. Pastor Pam'la brings some unique gifts
                                             to our ministry here at Ironton: her love of youth, Christian Clowning, and a love of music.  .
                                             
 
   Meet Virginia.  She's our other gifted musician, bringing her own special light and energy to our musical program here at First Ironton Presbyterian Church.  She's also a wonderful grandmother - just ask Noah!
