ABOUT MINISTER JORDAN GIBBS

Jordan Gibbs is a native of Columbia, SC. He is the son of Michael and Davita Gibbs, and the proud grandson of David and Martha Hopkins of Columbia, SC, as well as the late Deacon William Gibbs and Joan Gibbs of Charleston, SC. From an early age, Jordan has demonstrated an anointing on his life, walking faithfully with God even as a young child. His deep love for worship was evident as soon as he could walk and talk, and it has only grown stronger over the years.

At the age of eight, Jordan made the life-changing decision to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior, marking the beginning of his spiritual journey. His calling to ministry became clear, and on February 26, 2023, he took a significant step forward by preaching his initial sermon and was licensed at Red Hill Baptist Church in Gadsden, SC, under the leadership of Rev. Donnie C. Chambers. Jordan’s dedication to his church extends beyond preaching, as he also serves as the devoted drummer for the youth ministry at Red Hill Baptist Church, using his musical talents to glorify God.

Now entering the 2025–2026 school year as a 10th grader, Jordan has expanded his academic pursuits by taking multiple Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, with his coursework aligning with that of a Junior. Continuing his focus on technology, he remains deeply engaged in studying Cybersecurity, further building on the strong foundation he developed in the Studio D Magnet Program, based on Stanford’s “d” School. His commitment to academic excellence, coupled with his drive to take on challenging, college-preparatory classes ahead of schedule, reflects his ambition to excel both in high school and in his future endeavors.

Despite his many talents and accolades, Jordan remains humble and grounded in his faith. He often reflects on his favorite saying: "God gave you the gift of 86,400 seconds today, have you used one to say thank you?" His guiding scripture, Proverbs 3:5-6, captures his approach to life: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
