StepFWD is bringing FWDFEST to London this July, a Christian and Gospel festival set to spotlight creatives across different fields.

Taking place on Saturday 11th July 2026 at Dominion Centre, Wood Green, London, FWDFEST is presented by AStepFWD in collaboration with Dominion Centre, with a clear heart to celebrate creativity for God’s glory.

The festival is aimed mainly at Gen Z and Gen Alpha, creating space for young people to express their faith in ways that connect with their world. From worship to dance, live performance, talent discovery and DJ culture, FWDFEST brings different expressions of Christian creativity into one space.

The day will feature worship, a dance challenge, talent search and DJ battle, giving young creatives room to step forward, share their gifts and be part of something bigger.

It also comes at a time when the UK Christian and Gospel scene is seeing more young artists, dancers, DJs and creatives find their voice and help push the culture forward.

FWDFEST starts at 6pm, with tickets available from this Friday through www.astepfwd.com. Spaces will be limited, so early booking is strongly encouraged.

For anyone who loves worship, music, dance and the energy of young Christian creativity, this is one date you really do not want to miss.

fro-pop gospel artist CalledOut Music returns with ‘Grateful Heart (Thank You Jesus)’, a song centred on gratitude and thanksgiving to God.

The song feels like someone looking back over different seasons of life and realising that God has been there through it all. From the opening lines, CalledOut Music reflects on another year gone by, the stories he could tell, the goodbyes, the healing, and the steady hand of Jesus through every part of the journey.

At the heart of the song is the simple worship line, “I just want to say thank You, thank You Jesus, my heart is full of gratitude.” That line carries the whole message. It is not complicated, but it is honest, and that is what gives the song its weight.

The sound sits nicely between Afro-pop, worship and contemporary gospel, with a calm feel that allows the words to breathe. It is easy to listen to, but it still carries depth because the focus remains on gratitude.

What makes the song connect is the way it presents thanksgiving as something personal. It is not only about what God has done openly, but also about the unseen ways He carried, kept and showed grace. That comes through clearly when he sings about being here only by God’s grace.

‘Grateful Heart (Thank You Jesus)’ is another beautiful addition to CalledOut Music’s catalogue, and it is now available to watch on YouTube and listen to across digital streaming platforms.

BC Revive 2026 will bring Christian communicators, broadcasters, journalists, media leaders and creatives together in London for a day of conversation, learning and connection.

Taking place on Friday 8 May at Premier Christian Media’s new headquarters, the conference is hosted by the Christian Broadcasting Council as part of its work to support and strengthen Christian media in the UK. It comes at a good time, with conversations around faith, belief and culture finding more room across media, music, news and digital platforms.

The speaker line-up brings together a wide mix of voices, including Justin Brierley, Professor John Lennox, Gareth Russell, Kevin Bennett, Marcus Jones, Roger Bolton, Lani Charlwood, Andrew Boyd, Rita El-Mounayer and O’Neil Dennis. With experience across broadcasting, apologetics, journalism, Christian music, global mission and public engagement, the day has been shaped to speak to different parts of the media space.

For anyone involved in Christian media, church communications, music, storytelling, journalism or online content, CBC Revive 2026 offers a chance to sit in the room, listen, learn and connect with others working in similar spaces. It is not only about hearing from speakers, but also about understanding where Christian media is heading and how faith can be communicated with more clarity, care and confidence.

Across the day, sessions will look at Christianity in the news media, Christians in media, music and mission, the work of Premier Christian Media, the renewed interest in belief in God, and the launch of a CBC course for journalists. There will also be a panel and Q&A session, alongside time for networking.

In-person spaces are limited, with online tickets also available. For those attending in person, tickets include refreshments and lunch.
