Jeff Gordon

I began Christian ministry in the early '80s while completing my education as a physician and beginning a medical practice. In 1998, I made a big career change and cut my medical practice to part-time (about 10 hours per week) so I could involve myself more in ministry.

If 25 years ago you'd told me I'd be involved in Christian ministry, I would have thought you were crazy! I was interested only in a medical career and everything that goes with it. Thanks to the efforts of one of my medical school classmates, I became a Christian in April of 1982. I began learning the Bible through Xenos' teaching ministry and my view on life priorities changed. God showed me that he had real purpose for me as I began to set selfish priorities aside in favor of serving him.

Laura and I were married in July of 1984. We have a son, and two daughters. Our family is a consistent source of satisfaction and challenge. Laura serves as a Home Group Consultant in the Xenos Adult Ministries Division, teaches a women's Bible study, and volunteers at Calumet Christian School. We both practice personal discipleship.

I began serving on the Xenos board of elders in 1989. I'm now the pastor of our first Sunday Morning Central Teaching that meets in the Café. I still teach classes occasionally in our adult education program. I am so thankful God rescued me from my selfish world and has given me a life of true fulfillment.
