Together for One:
A Remarkable Year for Christian Music  

For Christian music, 2026 has been a remarkable season.  

Arenas have filled with worship. Songs rooted in Scripture have climbed streaming charts. Artists have reached audiences larger than ever before as millions of people engage with music that points them to Jesus.  

As the Gospel Music Association announces this year’s Dove Award nominees, we’re grateful to celebrate many of the artists we have the privilege of partnering with—and the entire Christian music community whose influence reaches far beyond the stage. Together for one, we are impacting the world.  

At World Vision, we have a front-row seat to something beautiful. 

For decades, we’ve watched Christian artists faithfully invite fans into God’s work around the world. And this year, we’ve witnessed something we’ve never seen before.

More than 500,000 children have been impacted through our 2026 concert partnerships—the largest impact on children and their communities in World Vision’s 30-year artist program history.

The venues may be bigger than ever, but what has moved us most is the generosity rising to meet the moment. Night after night, fans have been invited to do more than attend a concert. They’ve been invited to change a child’s future. 

And fans have responded in extraordinary ways. 

As the 57th Dove Award Nominees are announced, we celebrate unforgettable songs, applaud gifted artists, and recognize remarkable albums. And we thank God that through faithful artists and generous fans, the story doesn’t end when the applause begins. 

It continues at clean water taps.
In schools where children can learn safely.
In girls with options beyond child marriage.
In health clinics reversing infant mortality rates.
In communities learning more effective farming practices.
Around family dinner tables where parents and children are experiencing God’s peace.
And in the lives of children discovering that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved. 

Every room tells a story. 

Not simply of people who love the same songs—but of Christ followers who are willing to let worship shape the way they live.

Not simply of artists breaking records and reaching new audiences, but of artists using their platforms to follow Jesus to the ends of the earth and invite others to do the same.

Congratulations to this year’s Dove Award nominees. Thank you for reminding the Church that worship isn’t only something we sing. It’s something we live. 

We’d love to see YOU in Nashville this October. Dove Award Tickets are still available here!
