A True Servant Leader
Rev. Michael J. Jordan Called to Serve
Rev. Jordan was ordained by the Christian Fellowship Missionary Baptist Association on February 12, 1989.
In January 1990, Reverend Jordan was called to Pastor the Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Englewood, New Jersey. After leaving Mt. Calvary, he organized and pastored the Genesis Community Baptist Church in Englewood, NJ, and later pastored the Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Englewood, NJ.
Currently, the pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church of East Orange, Rev. Jordan continues to do God’s work. His ‘down-home’ style of preaching and singing has him in constant demand throughout the area. The Mt. Olive church has been blessed in many ways by Rev. Jordan’s leadership, and has experienced tremendous spiritual growth, as well as the establishment of new ministries to enhance God’s Kingdom building.
Reverend Jordan is married to the former Harriet Mervin, and the Jordans are blessed with four children: Raushanah, Justin, Jessica, and Joy.
