DUNCAN REIN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Duncan’s entrepreneurial efforts to help churches and ministries venture into the world of online communications began in 1999 during the dot.com boom. Determined to help Christian ministries communicate better online, he launched LifeAudio.com as a clearinghouse for thousands of sermons and audio messages to more effectively use the Internet as the revolutionary tool it was. With that bold move, Duncan suddenly found himself at the forefront of the Christian communities move onto the world wide web.

Drawing on his management consulting background, he quickly became recognized as a thought leader in the Christian community as he managed successful acquisitions and redeployments of Christianity.com and Lightsource.com. Duncan’s full-service web agency vision came together in the earliest days of content management systems, email communication, online giving and website designs as Christianity.com began providing then state-of-the-art support to hundreds of churches and ministries at the beginning of 2002.

With a heart for true ministry work, he orchestrated the sale of Christianity.com and Lightsouce.com to the Salem Radio Network. Duncan re-branded his team’s core competence in planning, creating and implementing web and online communication strategies for ministries and churches under a new banner — Silas Partners.
