Clarke & Khrystya Norton

Clarke (from Memphis, Tennessee) and Khrystya (from Lviv, Ukraine) served on a church planting team in Lviv, Ukraine, from 2009 to 2021. One of the greatest privileges of their life together was watching God grow a small group of contacts in 2009 into a vibrant church community of 80 people committed to Christ, His Word, and His mission.

After completing his M.Div., M.A. in counseling, and pastoral ordination, Clarke and Khrystya have accepted a new call to church planting in Oslo, Norway. Their hope is to help establish a flagship church in Oslo that can become a sending base for future church plants throughout post-Christian Scandinavia.

At the heart of the Nortons’ ministry is hospitality—welcoming people into their home and everyday lives so others might encounter the grace, truth, and presence of Jesus Christ.

Khrystya will serve women and young mothers while also using her strong administrative gifts. Clarke will serve through pastoral ministry, counseling, discipleship, and spiritual care as Grace International Church grows and reaches the city.

Most importantly, Clarke and Khrystya are grateful to serve as a family alongside their three adventurous children.
