Founded in 1964, the Gospel Music Association serves as a face and voice for the Christian Music community. We expose, promote, and integrate the gospel in all forms of music throughout the fabric of culture. As an umbrella organization, the GMA provides an atmosphere in which artists, industry leaders, retail stores, radio stations, concert promoters and local churches can coordinate their efforts for the purpose of benefiting the industry as a whole, while remaining true to the purpose of communicating the gospel message. The GMA continues to build a platform for all genres of Gospel music through its programs, special projects and services.
