East Jordan United Methodist Church History
One hundred forty years ago the East Jordan congregation started as a part of God's plan for church members, our community, our society, our world, and our time. In the years since, the church has changed locations, changed names, changed pastors, and changed enrollment.
What has not changed is that we believe this church is part of God's plan and we are part of God's plan - the body of Christ. We as East Jordan Church identify as our goal to grow spiritually through involvement in Christian education, community, and small groups.
