“For HIS Glory”
The fifth annual StepFWD Awards, the UK’s definitive “Best of British” Christian music awards ceremony, on Saturday 22nd November, will be celebrated in style with the exciting addition of a grand new theme: “For HIS Glory”.
While awards events in general focus on celebrating the exceptional achievements of talented individuals, the StepFWD Awards theme “For HIS Glory” is a stark reminder that ALL creative talents in their unique expressions ultimately bring glory to our Creator. Whether it’s powerful words, a harmonious song, or stirring vocals, every successful endeavour brings HIM glory.

Perhaps the most humbling, grounding and unifying realisation for all creatives comes from the acknowledgement that not one thing would come to pass if it weren’t for the grace of God, for “in him we live, move and have our being”. (Acts 17:28) And when it comes down to it, the audience of one is all that truly matters.
We are also delighted to announce that the highly entertaining power duo Faith Child and Jennifer Lee Moon will be hosting this year’s StepFWD Awards 2025 at the ‘cathedral of creativity’ Hackney Church on Saturday, 22nd November. An unmissable glitzy red carpet event complete with exhilarating live performances, StepFWD Awards is the only “Dove meets Stellar’ style dedicated CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) and Gospel awards ceremony in the UK, inspired by the call for unity in Romans 12:10: “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honour.”
“StepFWD Awards has gone from strength to strength, exceeding our wildest expectations year on year. To celebrate our landmark fifth anniversary, we have a powerful theme, “For HIS Glory” to keep building on the strong sense of community and unity of purpose that has become synonymous with StepFWD Awards.” founder O’Neil Dennis.
Since its inception, StepFWD Awards, representing ‘The Best of British’ talent, has established itself as a force to be reckoned with across the UK Christian music scene and beyond. With a new expanded brief to honour all Christian creatives, expect some exciting new additions and a few fresh twists to the established StepFWD Awards format.
Preparations are already underway for an unforgettable evening of celebration so it’s time to reserve tickets now to avoid disappointment and dust off that black tie!
