HISTORY
The concept of a
The Sheldon Heights Church of Christ (SHCC) home for seniors originated in the mind of our late minister, Brother Samuel L. Jordan. He believed strongly in the idea of caring for senior citizens and that Sheldon Heights could, should and would contribute to the lives of those treasured individuals. After more than twenty years of faith, dedication and determination, this vision, under the leadership of current minister, Brother Leonardo D. Gilbert, is now realized, and the long anticipated Kennedy Jordan Manor (KJM) project has finally come to fruition.
The name, Kennedy Jordan Manor, was chosen to honor two visionary leaders of Sheldon Heights Church of Christ. These men of faith provided the solid foundation of sacrificial giving that made this project a possibility. This facility, a fitting tribute to the legacies of Brother Levi Kennedy, Jr. and Brother Samuel L. Jordan, will proudly bear the names of these two great men.
