Jerry L

Jordan

On Wednesday September 23, 2026 God called Pastor Jerry L. Jordan home after fighting the good fight of faith for so many years. He was surrounded by holy worship and the loving arms of his family.

Jerry Levo Jordan was born on July 17, 1944 in Coleman, TX to Mr. Oran Jordan and Ms. Veo (Brown) Jordan; he was one of 9 children. Growing up Jerry always loved dogs, but he developed a love for God even more. He dedicated his life to the Lord and began preaching at the age of 13. Even at such a young age, he always looked for and expected the mighty move of God, rooted in deep faith. This would prove to be his calling in his adult years.
Jerry Jordan met his wife and "Annabel Lee", First Lady Oretha Sweed Jordan when he was 15 years old; they married three years later in 1962. From this marriage they produced four children - Aaron, Ricky, Bridget and Alicia. As the years grew on, the family worked in church ministry, experiencing the mighty move of God as members of South Side Church of God in Christ (Abilene, TX) under Pastor Bennet and Assistant Pastor Elder Cox. This would set the firm foundation for Jerry Jordan's call by God to pastor.

As Pastor, Jerry allowed the holy spirit to move, save, deliver and set souls free as he began his pastoral ministry at Northside Church of God in Christ. He stood for order and the spirit of excellence unto God. He believed in allowing those called by God - men and women - to have the opportunity to speak, teach, preach, exhort. Northside COGIC later became Faith Deliverance Community Church as the ministry outgrew their location and were blessed with a beautiful, multi-use building that became a training ground for young ministers.
If Pastor Jordan did nothing else, he gave! He and First Lady Jordan gave humbly and tirelessly to the ministry through love, teachings, finances and time. No job was too big, no task was too menial - he did it all! Until he could do it no more.

Pastor Jordan, you have finished your race, thy good and faithful servant. May God continue the legacy you have left of giving of ourselves in excellency, humility and under the power of the Lord, in order to win souls to Christ.

Pastor Jordan was preceded in death by his precious wife, Oretha Jordan, his heart of gold son, Ricky Jordan; parents Oran Jordan and Veo (Brown) Jordan; siblings Curtis Jordan, Chris Swain Jordan, Mary Ann Brown and Renard Jordan. He is survived by his children Aaron Jordan (Cyndi), Bridget Jordan, Alicia Johnson (Andre), and Antoine Jordan; his grandchildren Michael, Shavelle, Aaron, Brittny, Briana, Jordan, Dee, Aicila, Aiden, Jadzea, Nalia, DaLeeah and Kierra; great grandchildren K'Mya, Ayden, Bryson, Jalina, Khloe, Cassisus and Khali; siblings C.C. Jordan, Oran Jordan, Eric Jordan and Yvonne Brzezniak; and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.
