Patrick Norris - Lead Pastor at Bridges Church (pictured with wife Stacey)
Patrick has been on staff with the church in this role since helping to launch the church in September of 2007. After growing up in Morehead City, NC and graduating from UNC – Chapel Hill (class of ’85) he moved to California and lived there for 19 years. There he met and married Stacey in 1990, and they have 2 sons, Ethan and Micah who love the Tarheel state.
Through all of this, God was calling him into ministry and in 2000 he went back to school to get his MDiv. at Golden Gate Baptist Seminary in Brea, CA. Following graduation, the family followed God’s call to serve in NC.
Patrick loves hiking and reading, but his favorite activity is hanging out with his family. He is passionate about helping Bridges be an authentic place where it’s safe to explore what it means to follow Jesus.
