MEET OUR WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT PRESIDENT
Overseer-designate Paulette Norman
Overseer- designate Paulette Norman served faithfully for 17 years as the Senior Pastor of Mount Calvary in Boston, Massachusetts until her retirement on April 1, 2019. Although Pastor Paulette has retired from the pastorate, certainly she has not retired from God or the work of ministry and The Kingdom.
Overseer-designate Norman remains a highly sought-after preacher and presenter, particularly for women’s conferences and retreats.
She leads a ministry focused on ministering to hurting mothers, a passion birthed from her personal life experiences and pain, which serves as the motivation for the writing & publication of her first literary work: The Prodigal Daughter.
Realizing family is both her first and greatest ministry, Overseer-designate Norman is a loving wife of 51 years, a mother of three adult children, a proud nana of eight grandchildren and a great-grandmother of two.
Her heart’s desire is that men would see Christ in her and glorify her Father, which is in heaven, and that her life would be pleasing to God, realizing only what you do for Christ last.
