• The Philosophy Behind Ministry

      In 1988, Norm Gordon came to Germantown, Maryland — not with a master plan, but with a willingness to invest in people one relationship at a time.

      Over the years, living rooms filled up. Kids started hosting gatherings. Friendships became discipleship. Community became ministry.

      During the conversation, James Milley joked about one of Norm’s GameNite photos:
      “Out of 13 faces, 13 are smiling… that comes out to 100% success rate.”

      Honestly, that may describe Norm’s ministry better than anything else.

      Jim and Norm connected through BridgesUS, but their conversation centered on something deeper: faithfully discerning what God is doing next instead of following a rigid “3- or 5-year plan.”

      That’s the real story behind these photos.
      Not just Germantown.
      A lifetime of building people.
