All
of these words can be used to describe Senior
Pastor Reginald D. Jordan. But more than anything,
he is a “man after God’s own heart.”
Just like King David, he is a shepherd who diligently
oversees and loves those whom God has given
to his charge. And he thoroughly enjoys the
praise, worship, and celebration of the Most
High God. Thus, the Inspiring Temple of Praise
Church, where we are spiritually led and spiritually
fed by one who submits himself totally to the
Lord on our behalf that we all might experience
God’s Manifested Glory.
Pastor Reginald D. Jordan is a proud native
son of Fort Worth, Texas; he was born on June
23, the third child of Doris Hines. Reared
in the south side neighborhood of the city,
Pastor Jordan began developing musically because
of the enormous musical ability prevalent
in his family. As a result of his excelling
in the area of music, he received a full,
four-year scholarship to Texas Wesleyan College
and was blessed with an ability to play the
piano fluently, especially in the area of
Gospel Music.
September 27, 1991, marked the beginning
of Pastor’s preaching journey. He received
his first opportunity to operate in the office
of Pastor at St. John Baptist Church in Greenville,
TX. After serving as Pastor of St. John for
nearly two years, God told him to return unto
the land of his kindred and he lead his wife
and family back to Fort Worth to launch Inspiring

1996.
