Norm Gordon

Norm is a former church planter.  He is a husband and father of three who serves a congregation in the suburbs of Washington D.C. as the Associate Pastor for Community Engagement and Young Families.  He is passionate about making disciples and seeing a movement of young, inter-racial families begin to follow God into the world and make a difference.  He has launched Discipleship Groups poised to multiply in the community.  One big question he is currently discussing with his Bridges Coach is: “How much of Bridges can I incorporate into my work with the established church I pastor?”

He relates a story of facilitating a discipleship relationship between two church members: “I love to see God changing people’s character.  One of these new, young gals came up to me and asked, ‘How do I grow in my faith?’  Wow. I knew one of out older members was eager to serve, and she loves the Lord with all he heart.  Her Bible is the most dog-eared, messy, highlighted thing you’ve ever seen.  So I hooked the younger woman up with the older woman, and we’ll see where God takes it.”  Norm is experimenting with how to equip church members to form discipleship
relationships like this outside the church walls.
