Hilton Jordan is the senior pastor of RAFT Anglican Church. Hilton completed his Bachelor of Theology through George Whitefield College (South Africa) and his Licentiate in Theology through North West University (South Africa). He was ordained in the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne in 2008.
Before taking up pastoral ministry Hilton was a secondary school English teacher as well as a school counsellor. Hilton is married with three children, and a foster child, and dreams of having free time.
Hilton loves spending time with his family, drinking coffee, listening to music, and being the most ill-informed Bombers supporter (he’s really into rugby union and the Melbourne Rebels).
