Jordan Alexander

Student Ministries Pastor

Jordan Alexander works closely with the teens in Growth Groups and youth group settings each week, and oversees the youth ministry at FBC from nursery through 12th grade.

Jordan and his four siblings were born and raised in Brazil as church-planting missionary kids. At the age of five, he was saved by God's grace and served in ministry with his parents every week while growing up. As a young teenager, Jordan caught a vision for investing in teens and he has been working with youth ever since.

Jordan's favorite thing about ministry is working with people. He loves spending time with those who need encouragement, and is thankful for the privilege of presenting God's Word to the teens of Faith Baptist Church. Jordan loves working with his hands, cycling, running, and exploring the great outdoors with his wife, Kim, and daughters, Jenna and Everly.

Matthew 20:28 is a passage that has had a great impact on Jordan and his perspective of life and ministry. It says, "Even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many."

Each week, Tim looks forward to hearing the FBC congregation sing. His greatest joy is hearing people sing from their hearts to the Lord, and he loves working together with a variety of people with many talents to minister the Word of God in music.
