Finalists in 95 categories, including notable names in Christian music, have been announced ahead of the 68th annual GRAMMY® Awards.
Five-time GRAMMY® winner Brandon Lake claimed a trio of nods. His megawatt collaboration with Jelly Roll, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” garnered a Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song nomination, alongside Elevation Worship’s Dove Award-winning single, “I Know A Name,” which features Lake as both a vocalist and a co-writer. Additionally, Lake’s fourth studio set, “King of Hearts,” will contend for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
Meanwhile, Forrest Frank was honored in two brackets with a nod for viral hit “Your Way’s Better” in the Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song category and a nomination for “Child of God II,” up for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
Tauren Wells notched his 11th GRAMMY® nomination with “Let The Church Sing,” which will also vie for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
Elsewhere, CeCe Winans’ duet with gospel legend Shirley Caesar, “Come Jesus Come,” earned the pair a recognition in the Best Gospel Performance/Song category.
Winners will be unveiled when the 68th annual GRAMMY® Awards air live on CBS and Paramount+ Feb. 1, 2026.
