The story of Jordan's Chapel begins with the moving of the old Thornspring church, which was located on the King Harmon Farm near Lee Highway between Pulaski and Dublin. The membership divided, some going to the present Thornspring Church, and some going to form Oak Chapel in 1877 on a wooded lot on Pepper's Ferry Road, about a half mile south of Lee Highway on what is now the Grover Boothe farm.
Men sat on the right side of the sanctuary and women on the left. In 1918, the little church was moved about a half mile to the intersection of Lee Highway and Morehead Lane. Jordan gave the new church lot, and helped to raise the old building, mark the pieces, haul them to the new location, and re-assemble them to form a building almost identical to Oak Chapel. At the same time the name was changed to Jordan's Chapel in honor of Mr. Jordan and his wife, Sarah Caddall Jordan, who did so much for the church, both spiritually and financially. Their gifts are perpetual because of bank stock willed to the church. Because of shifts in population, it became necessary to move to another location in 1942, about a half mile north of the town of Pulaski on Alum Spring Road. The lot was given by Mrs. Donithan, who joined Oak Chapel in 1895, and was a longtime faithful Christian. Several additions have been made to the church since 1942, including the choir loft and several Sunday School rooms. Easter 2014 Jordan's Chapel moved again, into our beautiful new building, that was 5+ years in the making, located at 5095 Alum Spring Road. For more than a hundred years, Jordan's Chapel has cared for its membership, the community, the nation, and the world through a vital missions program. Jordan's Chapel is a member of the Global Methodist Church.
