THE FOUNDER'S STORY:

Rev. Dr. Gordon founded "Gordon Divinely Directed School of Chaplaincy" from a deep conviction that calling alone is not enough. Leaders must be informed, equipped, and aligned. I have seen firsthand the positive impact of spiritually grounded leadership in crisis, community, and institutional spaces. This school exists to ensure that those who feel called to chaplaincy or other ministry areas receive both divine direction and disciplined preparation. Dr. Gordon's passion is to raise leaders who are clear in assignment, confident in competence, and uncompromising in integrity.”
