Meet Norman Harold Patterson Jr
Norman Harold Patterson Jr. is the founder of The 100th Sheep Ministries, a Connecticut-based outreach dedicated to those who feel hurt, rejected, or marginalized by the church or society. This ministry grew out of a profound personal crisis Norman experienced nine years ago when he felt the deep pain of what seemed like rejection by God. That experience gave him a heart for people who feel lost and forgotten—the "100th sheep" in need of the Good Shepherd.
With over 38 years of pastoral experience, Norman has devoted his life to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. His ministry focuses on open-air preaching, street evangelism, and abolitionist work, all rooted in biblical truth. Norman believes that preaching involves faithfulness to God's Word, trusting that salvation and transformation are the work of the Holy Spirit, not human effort or pragmatism.
Norman’s approach to ministry emphasizes real relationships, biblical worship, and authentic fellowship. He draws upon a rich theological foundation, holding firmly to the 5 Solas of the Reformation, the authority of Scripture, and the teachings of historical creeds and confessions. A Reformed Christian with a Calvinist perspective, Norman left his earlier Wesleyan-Arminian roots after recognizing theological errors and embracing the doctrines of grace.
Through The 100th Sheep Ministries, Norman invites anyone longing for hope, healing, and truth to find refuge in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether preaching on street corners or supporting individuals one-on-one, Norman’s mission is to reach beyond the 99 to bring the 100th sheep home.
