Marcus Jordan is not just a preacher or a praiser—he is a man who wears many hats with grace, grit, and a gospel groove that moves people from pews to praise. As a former police officer, now a chart-topping gospel artist and pastor of Praise City Family Church in Houston, Texas, Jordan is the living embodiment of faith, family, and purpose in motion.
From the moment he convinced his mother of his divine gift at age seven, Marcus Jordan has been walking a path uniquely ordered by God. His music journey took shape as part of the house band for Music World Entertainment, playing behind artists like Solange Knowles. But his heart never strayed far from the church. Jordan released his debut EP I Can, followed by his full-length album Call On the Name in 2021, which debuted at #3 on iTunes’ Christian/Gospel chart and held firm across Billboard rankings for over a year. The title track not only earned Billboard’s #1 Gospel Airplay slot but also proved that Jordan’s sound wasn’t just music—it was ministry.
Through every beat, lyric, and sermon, Jordan continues to put people at the center of his calling. Whether he’s leading worship or leading his family, his intention is clear: help others get from where they are to where God wants them to be. That calling deepened after a near-death encounter with COVID-19, which reshaped his perspective on presence, legacy, and joy. “Life is a vapor literally,” he reflects. “I make the most of every moment.”
