NASHVILLE, TN (JUNE 26, 2024) GRAMMY® Award-winning group Elevation Worship has renewed its longstanding distribution and publishing agreement with Provident Entertainment. Working together for more than a decade, this partnership has helped advance the impact of Elevation Worship’s music.

“What an honor and privilege it has been to partner with the ministry and music of Elevation Worship over the last ten years,” states Holly Zabka, President of Provident Entertainment. “Elevation Worship is an outpouring of songs rooted in the experience of their local church that has impacted the global church and worshippers worldwide.”

Elevation Worship has become synonymous with the worship music movement as they have delivered some of the most beloved songs sung worldwide. With seven RIAA Platinum songs and 10 songs in the Top 100 of the CCLI chart, Elevation Worship continues to serve its mission of producing songs for the local church.

"Stewarding the songs of Elevation Worship plays a significant role, as their music has a global impact, resonating with many and fostering spiritual growth,” shares Essential Music Publishing Senior Director Andie Rankins. “The opportunity to administer their songs is not only a privilege but also a responsibility that contributes to the collective experience of worshipers around the world. It's a meaningful endeavor that supports the mission of spreading faith through music."

Since the group’s last album, CAN YOU IMAGINE? (2023), Elevation Worship has produced the multi-week No. 1 and viral song “Praise,” as well as a huge impact on touring.
