Our Rich History
285 Years & Counting!

“Oh God, you have promised through your Son to be with your church forever.  We give you

thanks for those who founded this community of believers 285 years ago and for the signs of

your presence in our congregation today.  Increase in us the spirit of faith and love, and make

our fellowship an example to all believers.  We pray through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. 

Now and forever.  Amen”


-Excerpts of this prayer taken from Evangelical Worship hymnal-
This information was collected from Jordan Lutheran Church, 1734 to 1959 (and sources listed within), Jordan’s 260th Anniversary Directory as well as multiple interviews with longtime members of our church.  Enjoy Jordan’s journey through time as we celebrate our blessed 285th Anniversary and beyond.
