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!

UPCI Sages Secretary

Dale & Lisa Beebe

UPCI Sages is pleased to announce the Executive Board’s appointment of Dale and Lisa Beebe as Secretary of the Sages Ministry, effective immediately.

The Beebe's bring a wealth of experience, dedication, and enthusiasm to this important role. As veteran church planters, they have demonstrated a deep commitment to kingdom building and ministry development. Their leadership has been further proven through various district leadership roles, including their service as South Carolina Home Missions Director, where they provided strategic vision. Perhaps most important, these good people are proven workers. They get things done.

Their extensive experience in both hands-on ministry and influencing others makes them uniquely qualified to serve the Sages Ministry in this capacity. Norma and I are confident that their expertise, servant hearts, and collaborative spirit will be a tremendous asset to our board and Sages as a whole. The Beebes will be keys to the continued advance of UPCI Sages.

Please join me in welcoming the Beebes to this new role. Their contact information is as follows:
