Originally from New Jersey, Jordan has served with churches in Scotland, Malawi, and the Chicago-land area. She is passionate about community development and the role of the church in affirming dignity and empowering vulnerable communities. She hopes that in serving local needs, mainline denominations will be revitalized across the United States. The Ormond Center helps to foster this vision. Jordan is currently pursuing ordination in the Presbyterian Church USA.

Jordan loves cooking and eating. Sharing in good conversation over a meal is her favorite pastime. She also enjoys hiking, canoeing, and marveling at creation.
