Doris Gordon
Speaker {For The Ladies}

- Born in Blount County and raised in Birmingham, Doris Gordon married Bill Gordon in 1960 while he was a senior at Auburn University. As Bill began his engineering career with the Space Program, their journey took them across the country—from Salt Lake City, where their son was born, to Florida, where both came to faith in Christ under the ministry of Pastor Adrian Rogers.
Bill was later called into ministry, leading them to seminary in Memphis and then into decades of church service throughout the Southeast. After retirement, they settled in Trinity, Alabama to be near family.
Even after Bill’s passing in 2020, Doris continues to serve as a beloved pastor’s wife, mentor to women, and volunteer corporate chaplain. Her sessions at the For God & Truth Conference are inspired by her unpublished book, Homemaking 101—a reflection of her deep love for faith, family, and the beauty of the home.
