PraiseGathering Music Group and LifeWay Worship have signed an exclusive co-publishing agreement that results in one of the largest selections of Christian choral music in the industry.
The agreement, effective Nov. 1, provides more churches with a vast selection of music from artists and writers like Randy Vader, Jay Rouse, Bill and Gloria Gaither, Camp Kirkland and other contributors to the PraiseGathering catalog.
"We are honored to bring the sales and distribution of PraiseGathering Publications, the Gaither Music print catalog, and our various imprints to LifeWay Worship," said Randy Vader, owner and senior executive of PraiseGathering Music Group. "We’re eager, focused and ready to begin this new chapter in our ministry as we work with LifeWay to create outstanding resources for the Church."
"Randy Vader and Jay Rouse have been two of the most significant contributors to choral music for the last two decades," said Mike Harland, director of LifeWay Worship. "Now, instead of admiring their work from a distance, we get to partner with them on the journey. What could be better than that?"
