JOIN CGMA
Membership Info

   The Country Gospel Music Association (CGMA), since the outset, has been dedicated to ministry.  
   While we appreciate the music business, and for the sake of our members, do all we can to advance the cause of the Country Gospel genre, we believe every Christian artist should be totally committed to the Everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (II Peter 1:11) and have as their chief priority, blessing the heart of God.  When the song is used as a vehicle for the Savior, it is honored of the Father and may also achieve success within the industry; but the glitter of the music business should never be our objective.  If you are a career oriented artist, we invite you to consider the "Kingdom Alternative."

   Herein you will find information on how to become a part of CGMA as well as information on our many gatherings and conventions.  Feel free to browse and if you have any questions please take the time to E-mail us. 

Be sure to listen to our audio welcome and sign our guestbook.
