Closing the event, founder O’Neil Dennis reminded attendees of the critical need to support Christian creatives, launching a fundraising campaign for future growth in the Kingdom sphere.
Faith-driven music continues to expand its reach, testifying to Christ’s enduring light across generations and genres.
