Ken Norton, Voice of Prophecy Bible School director, has accepted the invitation of the North American Division to become the speaker/director of the ministry. Norton will begin in his new role in January 2026.
Norton joined the Voice of Prophecy in March of this year as director of the Discover Bible School. He brings more than 25 years of leadership in pastoral ministry, evangelism, education, and administration to the job. Prior to joining VOP he most recently served as president of the Montana Conference (2021-2025) and as president of the Guam-Micronesia Mission (2016-2021).
Norton replaces Shawn Boonstra, who left VOP in May to become an associate editor at the Adventist Review.
In evaluating Norton for this position, division leadership was especially drawn to his experience in using media for evangelism.
“Ken brings a deep commitment to Christ-centered evangelism, a passion for communicating biblical truth, and a strong sense of mission to this historic ministry,” says Rick Remmers, Voice of Prophecy board chairman, and North American Division assistant to the president. “With experience in pastoral leadership, media ministry, and holding public evangelistic meetings, he is well prepared to guide the Voice of Prophecy as it continues to share the everlasting Gospel through broadcast, digital, and personal outreach.”
Norton holds a Doctor of Ministry in Missional Church and a Master of Divinity from Andrews University, along with a B.A. in theology from Southern Adventist University. His broad ministry background, including cross-cultural mission service, evangelism leadership, teaching, and administrative oversight, positions Norton to guide VOP’s expanding media, Bible school, and outreach initiatives across its broadcast and digital platforms.
“Ken’s commitment to Christ-centered evangelism and his passion for communicating biblical truth will support the ministry’s ongoing mission to reach new audiences with the gospel,” said G. Alexander Bryant, president of the North American Division. “Ken deeply values the distinctive Seventh-day Adventist message, and I believe his leadership will be a blessing to all who engage with Voice of Prophecy.”
Norton feels humbled by the invitation to lead the ministry and says he plans to build on one of its key foundations: empowering local churches and members. He points to Discovery Mountain, evangelistic events, and the Discover Bible School as powerful resources that make outreach easy and accessible.
“I’m extremely honored to be asked to lead a ministry that has made such an impact for God’s kingdom for so many years,” says Norton. “I want to do all I can to equip churches and lay members with quality and relevant resources that they can share with their neighbors and friends.”
Headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, the Voice of Prophecy has been engaged in evangelism and media ministry since 1929, making it one of the longest-running Christian media ministries in existence.
