Shekinah Glory Ministry: One of Gospel Music’s Shining Stars
Lisa Collins of Gospel Music Channel describes Shekinah Glory Ministry as the best thing under the Gospel radar. I agree totally with her statement. One of my favorite songs by them is "Say Yes" from the Live album. This popular song was posted as the last Sunday Gospel! video. The Chicago-based group was birthed out of 10,000 member Valley Kingdom Ministries International.
They are one of gospel’s best-selling acts and just as clearly, one of the industry’s best-kept secrets. With the platinum certification of their latest DVD last month, Shekinah Glory Ministry LIVE – The Praise & Worship Video Experience DVD, the 60-voice, Chicago-based ensemble’s under-the-radar success is beginning to get high-profile play.
Their latest milestone comes on the heels of the gold certification of their sophomore release, Shekinah Glory Live in May. Meanwhile, Praise Is What I Do, the project that started it all – was certified gold. And at its current rate of sales, their current single, "Jesus" is – according to Kingdom Records senior vice president Bernie McLean – "doing better than both. At the rate it’s going, Universal Music (their distributor) expects it to be gold in eight months."
