SUMMARY:Join Us for the 2nd ANNUAL Gospel Industry Honors!
DESCRIPTION:In every note sung and every lyric penned\, there is a story of sacrifice\, faith\, and quiet determination that rarely makes the headlines. Gospel music\, with its deep roots and wide reach\, has always depended on more than just the voices on stage — it thrives because of countless men and women who labor behind the scenes\, fueled by a calling far greater than fame. \nMark your calendar: \nFriday\, August 14\, 2026 \n10:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET \nCHARLOTTE\, NC \nThe Gospel Industry Honors is our way of giving flowers while they can still be appreciated. Saying thank you to those who have given so much without asking for anything in return. It is our collective exhale; a room filled with praise\, laughter\, tears\, and testimonies that remind us why we do what we do. \nGuests will gather for an elegant brunch\, filled with moments of heartfelt recognition\, stirring tributes\, and stories that will inspire a new generation to serve this industry with the same integrity and passion. \nWhy you should be in the room: \nThis is not just an event — it’s a movement to reclaim the spirit of community and honor within gospel music. It’s a gathering where legends meet laborers\, artists embrace administrators\, and everyone is seen as vital to the mission. \nTickets: $125 CLICK TO PURCHASE:  for General/Professional Members  — For NON MEMBERS \nSeats are limited \nWe can’t wait to celebrate with you. \n
