The Warwickshire Gospel Festival & Awards 2024 concluded on a high note, leaving attendees inspired and filled with a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the everyday heroes who make Warwickshire a better place. Held at the Bridge House Theatre, Warwick School, on Saturday, 14th September, the event was a vibrant celebration of courage, dedication, and community service, wrapped in the spirit of righteousness and hope.
This year’s festival, like previous editions, was divided into two main events: the Gospel Praise evening and the Awards ceremony. Both components of the festival had their unique charm, drawing in people from all walks of life to celebrate not just the power of music and faith, but also the contributions of everyday individuals whose bravery and hard work often go unrecognized.
The Gospel Praise evening kicked off the event with a series of moving performances that filled the venue with a palpable sense of joy and unity. Talented gospel singers and choirs from across the region graced the stage, uplifting the crowd with their heartfelt music. The audience joined in, singing along and embracing the moment of spiritual reflection and celebration.
The energy in the room was electric, with every song and performance resonating deeply with the audience. The purpose of the Gospel Praise evening was to bring people together through the power of worship, and it certainly achieved that goal. As the music played, it was evident that the community shared a collective hope for a better future, rooted in righteousness and compassion.
Following the Gospel Praise evening, the stage was set for the highly anticipated Awards ceremony, where various individuals and organizations were honored for their exceptional contributions to the community.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God HGZ Warwick: A Pillar of Support
The festival was organized by the Redeemed Christian Church of God HGZ Warwick, a church deeply embedded in the Warwickshire community. Over the years, the church has become a pillar of support for many, offering not just a place of worship but also practical assistance to those in need. The church plays a crucial role in helping disadvantaged families, as well as providing advocacy and material support for ethnic minority migrant workers—particularly those in the healthcare sector.
Through their various outreach programs, the church has helped countless individuals settle into their new lives in Warwickshire, offering guidance, friendship, and resources to assist them in integrating into the community. The church’s involvement in the Warwickshire Gospel Festival & Awards reflects its mission to bring people together in a spirit of love, unity, and mutual support.

This year’s festival also saw a strong call for partnerships with essential services across Warwickshire. Looking ahead, the organizers of the Warwickshire Gospel Festival & Awards are already planning for next year’s event.
