The 12th annual K-LOVE Fan Awards, the premier event in Christian music, returns to Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry House on May 25, 2025. Hosted by renowned artists Matthew West, Jeremy Camp, Mac Powell, and Bart Millard, this fan-voted celebration brings together the most influential voices in Christian music for a weekend of concerts, worship, and community. With events kicking off Friday, May 23, and culminating in the televised awards show on TBN on Friday, May 30 at 7pm CT (8pm ET), the K-LOVE Fan Awards is a cornerstone for the Christian community, spotlighting faith-driven artistry and impact.
A Weekend of Worship, Community, and Celebration
The K-LOVE Fan Awards Weekend is more than just an awards show-it’s a multi-day experience that unites artists, fans, and leaders in faith. Friday night launches with a high-energy concert headlined by Tauren Wells and featuring Jordan Feliz, Seph Schlueter, and Terrian. Saturday morning’s Worship in the Round highlights Josh Baldwin, Hope Darst, Benjamin William Hastings, Patrick Mayberry, and Jon Reddick, offering a time of reflection and praise. The Emerging Artist Showcase, hosted by Andrew Ripp, shines a light on rising talents like Bodie, Leanna Crawford, Jamie Macdonald, and Megan Woods. Songwriting takes center stage Saturday afternoon, with Brandon Heath joined by Colton Dixon, Ben Fuller, Danny Gokey, and Katy Nichole. On Sunday morning, gospel legend CeCe Winans leads worship alongside Pastor Jonathan (JP) Pokluda, setting a spiritual tone before the grand finale.
The weekend’s main event-the K-LOVE Fan Awards-honors the artists, songs, and creators who have shaped Christian music over the past year. This year’s hosts, all award-winning artists themselves, embody the spirit of the event: Matthew West’s storytelling, Jeremy Camp’s resilience, Mac Powell’s legacy with Third Day, and Bart Millard’s anthems with MercyMe have inspired millions worldwide. Coca-Cola Consolidated returns as the presenting sponsor, underscoring the event’s stature and reach within the faith community.
