Sandy Norris
Title: Associate Pastor of Operations
What does that mean? Sandy crunches numbers, makes sure the bills are paid and helps define the lines that our staff tries to color inside of. She oversees Guest Services and defines the processes for supporting ministry through strong operations.
Sandy Norris thrives in the support role attempting to bring order from chaos and providing volunteer and paid staff the resources they need to accomplish the ministry they have been called to. Folks told her that parenting is great but they didn’t tell her how much fun it would be to watch her daughter learn. She and her husband, Jeff, are continually amazed and amused by their daughter Mayme. Sandy is a graduate of Columbia College, North Park University and North Park Theological Seminary.
