I really know that for the levels of studying English language, we had always said that "for" is a coordinator. However, I would like to know what for serves in this sentence
For God so loved the world.
Is it still a coordinator or any word class?

I think it's pretty obsolete in Modern English. I always wondered why it was listed as coordinating in textbooks, and I think it's just tradition. I've never heard it used with intent to communicate; only in recitative.

It's a preposition in your example. The subordinator "for" only occurs with infinitival clauses, e.g. For Ed to say that is very unusual.

In your case 'for' is a conjunction.
According to Oxford English English Dictionary
(https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/for):
FOR
CONJUNCTION
literary
Because; since.
‘he felt guilty, for he knew that he bore a share of responsibility for Fanny's death’
As about the term 'coordinator' it's a synonym of 'conjunction'.
See in Oxford Living Dictionary:
Coordinator
2 Grammar
A word used to connect clauses, sentences, or words of equal syntactic importance (e.g. and, or, for)
‘subordinate clauses can be connected with a coordinator’
