Jordan Easley, Senior Pastor at Englewood Baptist Church, has accepted a similar position at First Baptist Church in Cleveland, Tennessee.
Cleveland is a community of about 45,000 people in Bradley County, which is about 30 miles east of Chattanooga.
Easley, who served for about five years at Englewood Baptist Church, will begin his ministry in Cleveland, August 19.
Prior to serving at Englewood, Jordan served alongside David Landrith as Teaching Pastor/Multi-site Pastor at Long Hollow Baptist Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Before serving at Long Hollow, Jordan had the privilege of serving at several other leading churches including Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, First Baptist Church, Atlanta, and Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, Texas.
During Jordan Easley’s ministry at Englewood Baptist, over 800 people were baptized, over 1,700 people joined the church and were assimilated into small groups.
Two new multi-site campuses were launched that now average roughly 1,000 additional people in worship each week.
Englewood Baptist Church saw its budget increase from $5.1 million to $7.1 million.
They dramatically increased their CP giving and mission involvement, while reducing their church debt from $3.2 million to less that $800,000.
In addition, Jordan Easley is an author for LifeWay.
In 2013, B&H published his first book, “Life Change.” His second book, “Resuscitating Evangelism,” is scheduled to be released in January, 2020.
He received his Bachelors degree in Biblical Studies from Dallas Baptist University and attended Seminary at both Southwestern Baptist Theological and Luther Rice.
He continues his education at Union University, where he is concluding a Masters degree in Christian Ministries.
Jordan married his high school sweetheart, Audra, in 2000.
She also graduated from Dallas Baptist University (2002) with a degree in Elementary Education, and is a vital part of Jordan’s ministry.
She loves investing in women and that passion led her and a few friends to begin a ministry (ByFaithShe.com), in 2017.
Jordan and Audra Easley have two children – Jailee, 13, and Asher, 12.
