Administrative History

The Christ Episcopal Church of Jordan, New York was officially organized on November 30, 1840. Services at that time were held in the schoolhouse of District 17 on Main Street in the village of Jordan. The church membership gradually grew, and in 1846 a church building was erected on North Main Street in Jordan, with a membership of 19 dedicated communicants. The church membership continued to grow and by 1863 a new house of worship was planned. A brick church was erected on the corner of North Main and Delhi Streets. H.N. White was the architect. The cornerstone of the new church was laid June 16, 1863 and on December 29, 1863, Bishop Delancy consecrated the new church. Renovations continued on the church over the years, including the addition of a tower, a bell, lighting, and stained glass windows. An house to be used for an Education Center for the Sunday School was purchased next door to the church in 1955.

In 1956 the Memphis Church was closed and the Christ Church of Jordan welcomed those new members to join their church. Repairs and renovations continued and a new organ was purchased for the church in 1967. The Education Center closed and sold in 1983. A bell for the tower was acquired from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Port Byron in 1988. The church continues to be an active in the Jordan community.
