Author: Norm Fisher
Norm was raised in the UCC in Connecticut, and like many fell away from the church after high school. With this background he saw it primarily as a service organization. On the miracle of his first child he came back to the church. On moving to Texas a few years later he found a home in Lutheranism when he was invited to a confessional church a half-hour away by our new neighbors.
He is one of those people who found a like mind in computers while in Middle School and has been programming ever since. He's responsible for many websites, including the Book of Concord, LCMSsermons.com, and several other sites.
He has served the church in various positions, including financial secretary, sunday school teacher, elder, PTF board member, and choir member.
Norm has been involved behind the scenes in many of the "go-to" websites for Lutherans going back many years.
