GMA Easter Celebration Livestream Features Brooke Ligertwood, KB, and Passion at Museum of the Bible

The Gospel Music Association (GMA) hosted its highly anticipated Easter Celebration livestream on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, bringing together some of the most celebrated voices in contemporary Christian and gospel music for a special evening of worship and reflection.

Filmed at the World Stage Theater at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C., the "GMA Easter Celebration" featured performances from Grammy-nominated artists Brooke Ligertwood, Benjamin William Hastings, KB, and Passion. The event was produced in partnership with the Museum of the Bible and CREATR, and was made available for streaming throughout Holy Week on gospelmusic.org/easter.

The GMA, which has been exposing, promoting, and celebrating the Gospel through music since 1964, designed the event to honor the Easter story and the significant hope found in a risen Savior. The livestream drew viewers from across the country and around the world, with many churches incorporating it into their Holy Week programming.
