Bishop Norman L. Wagner - A
Biographic Snapshot
World-Wide Leader and Personality -
Pastor / Educator / Statesman / Servant 1976 Bishop
Norman L. Wagner established a private school, Calvary
Christian Academy, to meet the needs of families who
lacked access to quality and cutting-edge education. In
spite of Youngstown's struggling economy, the school
excelled and graduated many individuals who are now
making their mark on the world; Executives,
Professionals, Sports & Entertainment Figures, and
Leaders including Youngstown's current Mayor, the
Honorable Jay Williams.
Against incredible odds, in 1984, Bishop Wagner
spearheaded a building project to house senior citizens
in the Youngstown community; Calvary Towers were erected
and today still stand as a monument to Bishop Wagner's
commitment to better living standards for the senior
citizens of his hometown.
Recognized for his positive influence and the
significant contributions to the communities he
serviced, Bishop Wagner has enjoyed visits to The White
House by personal invitations from Presidents Ronald
Reagan, and William Jefferson Clinton.
Musically, as a gifted singer, song-writer, and
arranger, Bishop Norman L. Wagner along with his choir,
received Stellar Nominations for songs, "Best For Last,"
and "Excellent." Additionally, he played a very
significant role in the launch of now Multi-Grammy Award
Winning Artist, Vicki Winans. His wise counsel and his
integrity have earned him great respect and love among
many internationally celebrated artists within the
Entertainment Industry - as is demonstrated by the list
of Artists scheduled to appear during his Home-Going
services.
Ambassador of
Jesus Christ
On
National and Global Fronts
In 1978, Bishop Wagner created and served as Executive
Producer of "The Power of Pentecost," a television
program which went National in 1978 and International by
1985.
Bishop Wagner was presiding Prelate of the Pentecostal
Assemblies of the World, Inc. (PAW) for two consecutive
terms (1998-2004) with over two thousand churches under
his auspices.
Bishop Wagner also founded and presided over the
European Council of Nations (ECN) for over twenty years;
a Christian organization of church leaders in Europe of
varying ethnicities and languages. The ECN grew to
over 40 churches under his leadership.
In 1986, Bishop Wagner established an international
leadership conference, Pentecost In Perspective (PIP).
The conference was designed to develop and equip
leaders, as well as those in pursuit of leadership
roles. This annual conference has been heavily attended
by thousands of Christian and Business Leaders from
around the globe for over two decades.
From the Bottom of Our Hearts
Bishop Wagner's
family and Calvary Ministries International wish to
thank everyone for their efforts to honor the labor, the
love, and the memory of this great man who gave his life
in the service of others for the Kingdom of God.
