Jordan Narkates
Jordan Narkates came to Lee from Helena, Alabama, to major in music and worship. At Lee, he has immersed himself in a variety of musical pursuits, serving as president of the Lee Singers, tenor section leader of Lee University Chorale, and a member of Lee U Worship. “The Lord ordered my steps and paved the path to Lee since I first visited as an eighth grader,” Jordan says. The highlight of his Lee career to date was being involved on the “Revere,” project, a recording Lee Singers did with Integrity Music. After graduation, Jordan plans to become a full-time worship leader and pursue a master’s degree and a doctorate in worship studies.
