about our pastor
“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.” This quote from Exodus 14:13 (KVJ) encapsulates the ideology of Noah Kordell Gordon, Pastor of the Faith Heritage Church Of God In Christ.
In January 2019, Elder Gordon was appointed by Bishop Jerry W. Taylor as the Pastor of Faith Heritage Church, succeeding his father-in-law and the ministry’s founder, Pastor James T. Jones, Jr. Prior to his appointment as pastor, he served as the Superintendent of the Sunday School Department for eight years. As a visionary Pastor, he is building diversity. Pastor Gordon has implemented a community food bank, GED program, helps oversee the ministry’s private school, serves as the AIM Chairman of the J. D. Porter District, and is the President of the J.D. Porter Scholarship Foundation which awards students to further pursue their education.
In 2019, Pastor Gordon was recognized by Cynthia Daniels and Co. as one of Memphis’ Top 40 under 40. This highly anticipated annual celebration and gala recognizes the 40 most influential urban elite professionals under the age of 40 in Memphis. Simultaneously, he was honored as one of the Church Of God In Christ Whole Truth Magazine 40 under 40 recipients. His work in the ministry and the field of education fulfills his life’s calling.
As an Elementary School principal and a pastor, he believes that teaching and discipleship go beyond the walls of a classroom or a church to impact one community at a time.
Pastor Gordon is married to the love of his life, Kimberly. They are the proud parents of Noah K. Gordon, II.
