Evangelist Norman Moore was raised in Pueblo, Colorado. As a boy he was invited to ride a church bus to Sunday School at a Church of the Nazarene in Pueblo. Through the ministry of that church, he became a Christian and was called to preach at the age of eleven. After graduating from high school, he went west to California and received his ministerial training at Pasadena College, now Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. He also studied at California Graduate School of Theology in Glendale, California.
He served three years as youth pastor and seven years as senior pastor in southern California. Norman was ordained in 1973.
