Hosted by gospel icons Bill and Gloria Gaither, the all-day production featured top talent in the Gospel, Country, and Christian music industry and included names like Tasha Cobbs Leonard, The Gaither Vocal Band, The Oak Ridge Boys, Rhonda Vincent, David Phelps, Jordan Smith, Chris Blue, Mark Wills, Lynda Randle, Mark Lowry, The Isaacs, and Jason Crabb, and other veteran and emerging talents from across music genres. Filmed at TBN studios in Hendersonville, TN, this yet to be titled Homecoming taping will premiere in 2026 on television, digital platforms, DVD, and streaming on Gaither TV+. Among the music highlights was an acapella rendition of “Amazing Grace,” led by Sonya Isaacs. In memory of the late Squire Parsons, son Sam Parsons and the Homecoming group sang “Sweet Beulah Land.”
“To see over 270 artists, from pioneers to new voices, stand shoulder to shoulder in worship was overwhelming,” says Bill Gaither about the event. “We’re not just passing the torch; we’re carrying it together.” In a standout moment, Chris Blue, Jason Crabb, and Angie Primm led the audience through an incredible version of “I Go to the Rock,” and a special spoken-word segment by Bill Gaither. The Crabb Family also shared the stage in a rare and powerful reunion, delivering performances that embodied their legacy. In addition to longtime Homecoming favorites, the taping included several new arrangements, first time collaborations, and special acoustic moments. This untitled Gaither Homecoming special will be released as an audio, DVD, and television special in 2026 across all streaming platforms, Gaither TV Plus, and TV networks.
