About the area and Responsibilities of a Norman Ministry Coordinator:
Norman, OK is not only a college town, but it perfectly balances small-town charm with big-city perks. It has many great attractions including, the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, Lake Thunderbird State Park, and Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. But, the big thing in town is the University of Oklahoma (OU). Not only does it have a world class college football program, it's also the home of about 2,000 international students. The bottom line is that OU is a great place to do international student ministry.
