Saved: I was privileged to grow up in a Christian home, where my parents, Bruce and Peggy Jordan, taught me the importance of having Christ in my life. I was saved and baptized at the age of 9, but was a young adult before truly understanding the concept of a personal relationship with Jesus. I have been a member of Salem Baptist Church since 1974.
