About Me

My name is Norman J. Scearce, and I am a servant leader, community advocate, and lifelong resident of Montgomery County, Ohio.

For more than four decades, this community has shaped who I am, and I have committed my life to giving back through faith, education, and public service.

I currently serve in leadership at Gateway Cathedral, where I am passionate about developing people, strengthening families, and building systems that allow ministry to thrive beyond the walls of the church. In addition to pastoral leadership, I help guide several community-focused initiatives under the Gateway umbrella, including youth enrichment programs, early learning efforts, and community development projects designed to meet real needs with real solutions.

​

My commitment to education and youth development led me to serve as a school board member for Trotwood-Madison City Schools, where I have worked to advocate for students, support educators, and promote accountability and opportunity for every child. I remain actively involved in local boards, commissions, and civic efforts that seek to improve quality of life, expand access, and ensure responsible leadership across our region.

​

Professionally and academically, I am rooted in psychology, counseling, and educational leadership, with a strong interest in how faith, cognition, and community intersect to shape healthy individuals and systems. Whether in the classroom, the church, or the public square, I believe lasting change happens when hope is paired with structure, discipline, and compassion.

Above all, I am a husband, a father of three children who proudly attend public schools, and a small business owner who understands the challenges facing working families. Everything I do is guided by a simple principle: serve with integrity, lead with vision, and leave people and places better than I found them.
