Christian Music Month: A Historic Celebration in April 2025
April 2025 marks the launch of the first annual Christian Music Month (CMM), an initiative by the Gospel Music Association (GMA) to celebrate and amplify the transformative power of Christian and Gospel music. This month-long event aims to build on the momentum of Easter, the peak day for Christian music consumption, by encouraging fans worldwide to listen, engage, and share their love for faith-driven music.
Exclusive Performances: Positive Vibes Only Series
In collaboration with The Recording Academy, GMA is hosting four exclusive performances as part of the Positive Vibes Only series. These events will feature some of the most celebrated artists in Gospel and Contemporary Christian music:
- April 7: Tauren Wells
- April 14: Josiah Queen
- April 21: Jekalyn Carr
- April 28: Adrienne Bailon ft. New Breed
The performances will premiere on GRAMMY.com and the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel, offering fans a chance to experience these inspiring artists from anywhere in the world.
Industry-Wide Support
The initiative has been embraced across the music industry. Streaming platforms such as Amazon Music, Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, and TBN+ have created dedicated spaces to highlight Christian Music Month with curated playlists and content. Additionally, Christian radio stations, led by Christian Music Broadcasters (CMB), are playing a key role in promoting CMM.
Live events are also central to the celebration. Partners like Awakening Events and TPR are branding major tours such as those featuring Forrest Frank, MercyMe, and Winter Jam with CMM themes. These concerts provide fans with opportunities to connect with their favorite artists and celebrate their faith through music.
