Meet Our UPCI Sages Team

National Sages Directors

Carlton & Norma Coon

Sages would not be successful without a strong leader with vision. Please let me introduce you to Rev. Carlton & Sis. Norma Coon, who together are the Sages Directors. We so appreciate their leadership and constant encouragement as well as vision in leading this ministry!

The Coon’s currently reside in Springfield, Missouri where they have held multiple roles in pastoring, church planting, and leadership. They have held positions within the UPCI leadership as well. Bro. Coon was the NAM Director previous to becoming the Sages Director. He is constantly traveling and speaking all across America helping various congregations.

Sis. Coon has also been involved in ministry, including roles in Ladies Ministry and music. She has ministered alongside her husband through years of evangelizing and pastoring various churches. She is a wonderful support and blessing to their ministry.

Bro. Coon has authored 42 books, which can be found at CarltonCoon.com. He and his son, Pastor Lane Coon, train on Mastering Disciplemaking via their online training course.

Both of them cherish family, having two wonderful sons, a lovely daughter in law, and three adored grandchildren. Their interests include reading, sports, travel, and savoring local food and coffee during their journeys.

The Sages ministry is a relatively new initiative of the UPCI. Because it is in its infancy, so to speak, there is a lot of behind the scenes work involved and hours of planning and organizing for the different regions and states. Conferences to plan, teams to set up, marketing materials, etc. So it takes a lot of effort to get a new ministry running successfully. Let’s let them know how much we all appreciate their efforts in helping the ministry of Sages move forward!
