SECOND ANNUAL CHRISTIAN MUSIC MONTH LAUNCHES
Industry Joins Together To Shine Spotlight On Christian and Gospel Music Leading Up To Easter
The Recording Academy + Gospel Music Association Announces Christian Music Month Focused ‘Positive Vibes Only’ Performances
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 6, 2026) - Gospel Music Association (GMA) is celebrating with industry leaders and organizations across Christian and Gospel music for the second annual Christian Music Month (CMM), a movement designed to encourage fans everywhere to listen, engage, and share the power of Christian music. Easter marks the biggest day of the year for Christian music consumption. Dedicating an entire month to Christian music will build on that momentum to shine a spotlight on the music and message that transforms lives.
In honor of Christian Music Month, GMA is partnering with The Recording Academy, the organization behind the annual GRAMMY Awards, to launch four exclusive performances of their Positive Vibes Only series, which celebrates Gospel and Contemporary Christian music. Featuring Israel Houghton and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton with Diana Marie and Unified Sound, Jamie MacDonald, KB, and MercyMe with Tim Timmons and Sam Wesley, each video will premiere on GRAMMY.com and the Recording Academy Dedicated Playlist throughout March.
Christian Music Month is also featured on Amazon Music, Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, and TBN+ to highlight CMM. Christian Radio support is being led by Christian Music Broadcasters (CMB), while event participation is happening through partnerships with Awakening Events and TPR, featuring CMM branding on major tours like Anne Wilson, Brandon Lake, Ben Fuller, CeCe Winans, Josiah Queen, Katy Nichole, MercyMe, Steven Curtis Chapman, TobyMac, and more.
The GMA is encouraging industry members and fans alike to support Christian Music Month this March. Visit ChristianMusicMonth.com to access branding assets and join the campaign.
