Charity Gayle to be Guest Artist for Worship 4:24 2025

Today I’m excited to announce that Charity Gayle will be our guest artist for Worship 4:24 on January 24-25, 2025.

According to Charity’s website:

“Focusing on bridging the gap between worship and gospel music, she has authored songs like  ‘Amen’ ‘Psalm 100 (Enter In),’  ‘Cleansed’ and ‘New Name Written Down in Glory.’ Her first record, ‘Lord, You are my Song,’ debuted at #1 in the Christian and gospel genre in January 2018. She recently released her sophomore album ‘Endless Praise’ in Sept. 2021, featuring the song ‘Thank You Jesus for the Blood’ also debuting at #1. 

Most recently, Charity received a Dove Award for the song ‘Benediction (As You Go)’ on Selah’s record, ‘Firm Foundation.’ 

Charity lives with and leads worship with her husband, Ryan Kennedy. They are cultivating a movement for 24-hour prayer and worship called GatherHouse and are continuing to write and spread the gospel in the US and globally.”

In my own church at FBC Lancaster, we sing her song “I Speak Jesus” and love it. We recently introduced her song, “Thank You Jesus For the Blood,” and it has been a powerful song of confession and thanksgiving that illuminates the saving power of Jesus for our people. Everything I have seen and heard and discussed with her team suggests that Charity is focused on unifying the church around the gospel of Jesus Christ and exalting Jesus through worship.

Pastors, I’m really excited for you, your worship leaders, and your worship team to learn about best practices in worship ministry from Charity and her team, and for us to worship together this January.

Now, here’s the secret: if you register your team today, it will only cost $50/ticket per adult and $25 per student. This is an incredible price for what you’re going to get. We expect our conference expenses to go up this year, but we are trying not to pass them on to you. We want to do everything possible to not increase prices so church plants and churches struggling financially can still send their teams.

Also, for your 14-18 year olds, please encourage them to attend the Weekend of Worship on Thursday! It adds a bonus day to the conference! You’ll meet guest artists for Worship 4:24, spend time with worship bands from Cedarville, and select bands will get a chance to play and receive feedback from worship professionals.

Cedarville University will host Worship 4:24 again. Cedarville has been an incredible partner for this conference, and I just want to say thank you to the Cedarville Worship Department and leadership for making this possible year after year.

Register your team today https://www.cedarville.edu/events/worship424, and lock in a great price for an incredible conference for your whole worship team.
