About
Gordon Marcy builds media platforms for greater Kingdom impact. He believes technology is making it possible for thousands of churches to develop Digital Missions for reaching their communities and the world with the gospel.
RADIO: THE EARLY YEARS
It all started when his father, Wayne (who helped start KHCB Houston, TX in the early 1960’s) gave him his first job in radio, as an engineer’s apprentice for KBRZ-KLJT Freeport-Lake Jackson, TX, at age 16. He then worked as air personality, Music Director, Program Director and Operations Manager…programming rock, pop and country stations throughout southwest Texas.
CHRISTIAN RADIO
Encouraged to consider Christian media, Marcy began his career in religious broadcasting as General Sales Manager at KGOL Houston, TX (1984). Marcy accepted his first General Manager position at KRDS Phoenix, AZ, one of the few full-time commercial CCM stations, at the time. He joined Salem Communications in 1987, where he served for nearly twenty years as General Manager of ten stations, specializing in turnaround strategies and growth management. Marcy managed Salem stations in Santa Barbara, CA, Oxnard-Ventura, CA, Boston, MA, Houston, TX and Louisville, KY.
In Louisville, Marcy’s team earned recognition for building the most listened to Christian stations in Kentucky; he helped develop and launch the nationally syndicated Albert Mohler Program; published Louisville Now magazine; and his stations were selected by the company’s national program customers to receive the Salem Station of the Year National Ministry Award for five consecutive years.
Additional team honors include 2005 Focus on the Family Station of the Year (medium market); 2006 nominee for NRB Radio Station of the Year (Talk); and 2006 nominee for Marconi Religious Station of the Year.
BUILDING THE FUTURE
Inspired by a discussion in 1996 with the late Dr. E. Brandt Gustavson (former President of NRB) – and a passion to see Christian media retain its strength – Marcy started Capstone Alliance in early 2007.
He brought together a team of nationally recognized thought leaders to review a wide range of emerging trends and issues related to Christian media and the Church. New collaborative strategies were considered.
Marcy’s desire for the future is to help churches align technology with what God has set them apart to do. Until the whole world knows…
