Under the leadership of Mr.
Edward Jordan, a small group of people founded the Jordon Chapel Methodist
Church in 1898. The first services were held in the home of Mrs.
Abbie Robinson Douglas. She also led in raising the funds for the
construction of a church. The church was built on Plank Road, 4 blocks
north of Airline Hwy.
The church was officially organized
under Rev. Rolan in 1904. Under the leadership of Rev. S.J. Jackson,
the church was moved to its present location. The present church
was constructed in 1955 under the leadership of Rev. W.C. August, Sr..
The name was changed to Jordan Methodist Church at this time. Under
the leadership of Rev. W.R. Lafayette, four lots were purchased in 1969
(for $4000). A new educational building was built on this site. |
