Hillsong Music Nominated for 10 Dove Awards; Team Prays Music Points People to Jesus

Hillsong Music is celebrating an astonishing 10 Dove Award

nominations received this week, including Artist of the Year and

Song of the Year.

The numerous awards were announced at the 45th Annual GMA

Dove Awards press conference on Wednesday, Aug. 13. Today,

the group is celebrating the recognition by honoring God.

"We are honored to receive these nominations for Dove Awards

and are humbled that people listen to our music," the Hillsong

Music Team said in a statement. "We pray that it always points

them to Jesus. To God be the Glory!"

The President of Capitol CMG Label Group added, "We celebrate

with Hillsong on the multiple nominations. Hillsong music has

pioneered worship music throughout the years and over the last

year, they have once again redefined worship around the world

for the local church. Capitol CMG is honored to be partnered with Hillsong and their mission. Congratulations to UNITED, Young & Free and Worship groups."

Hillsong Music's nominations include the most coveted awards

such as Artist of the Year for UNITED, New Artist of the Year for

Young & Free, and Song of the Year for UNITED's "Oceans

(Where Feet May Fail)." The Dove Awards will be held live on

Oct. 7, 2014.

The multiple Dove nominations arrive just months after Alcon

Entertainment and Warner Bros. announced a documentary on

Hillsong UNITED.

Considered one of the most famous Christian worship bands in

the world, UNITED is currently filming "Hillsong- Let Hope Rise"

on five different continents. The documentary, which is being

directed by Michael John Warren, is expected to be released

worldwide on April 3, 2015.

Also, this fall, Hillsong UNITED will headline NewSong's Winter

Jam tour for the first time ever. The tour will also feature 10 of

Christian music's top acts, and kicks off in Albuquerque, New

Mexico on Nov. 6
