I grew up in the deep south (Georgia). Joining the military when I was 19 and served in the USAF for 21 years as an aircraft maintenance first followed by a job flying around refueling aircraft. During that time I lived in Europe for eight years and had extended stays in Central America and two years in the Middle East during my military career.
I didn't grow up regularly attending church and didn't understand the Eternal desired a relationship with the temporal. When God became a reality for me, it was life changing! I discovered, or more accurately, was discovered by a God who refused to give up on me. A God who pursued, and continues to pursue, me relentlously. God revealed Love in a way that was unoncerned about my past, but had a purpose in my future. I was graduated from seminary and was ordained in 2013.
I am wonderfully blessed through my Savior Jesus Christ and I want all the world to know the Love of God in Jesus Christ. God is real, true, compassionate, love, joy and much more. My relationship with God is more than I deserve or could ever earn. It is a relationship based on God's action, and it is Grace!
God doesn't have favorites. I am convinced, God desires a relationship with you, regardless of your past and has a plan for your future. God looks upon you with joy and love. God's heart is overwhelmed with love for you. When God looks at you with great hope and resolve for your future.
I hope to reflect God's love with a respect for every person. I want to accept every person the way that God accepted me. And God continues to accept me. I look forward to serving this community in a way that reveals the love of God and the value God has placed you.
God Bless You,
Pastor Norm
