Shekinah Grace Moyes is releasing Rise As One, a 15-track Christian crossover album, with a 10-track Essential Edition in August 2026. The Vancouver-made project blends Scripture-based themes with pop, R&B, gospel and dance while also extending into a multilingual anthem tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Why it matters: - Rise As One expands Christian music into mainstream-style genres without dropping its Scripture-based message. - The project also ties faith themes to global sport, language and cultural unity, broadening its audience beyond traditional Christian listeners. - The release is one of the largest projects to come out through Angel Gospel Music to date.

What happened: - Shekinah Grace Moyes announced Rise As One, a 15-track album set for release in August 2026. - A companion release, Rise As One — Essential Edition, will include 10 selected tracks. - The album was made in Vancouver, British Columbia, after the creative process began in Florida in January 2025. - The project was developed over nearly two years and involved Christian musicians, vocalists and music professionals from different churches and Christian communities. - The rollout is timed with Moyes’ birthday celebration.

The details: - Rise As One mixes pop, R&B, rap, Europop, country gospel, ballad, dance, gospel and New Jack Swing. - The songs center on mercy, forgiveness, faith, resilience, love, gratitude, Christmas, worship, hope, sport and international unity. - The project draws from the Holy Bible, especially the Book of Psalms, and uses themes of praise, deliverance, mercy, protection, restoration, courage and celebration. - “Mercy Found Me” focuses on mercy, grace, forgiveness and restoration. - “Never Forsaken” uses a country gospel style to address faithfulness and perseverance. - “Crown of Blessings” centers on gratitude and God’s provision. - “Shine Like Heaven” and “Light in the Night” focus on hope and faith. - “Because You Heard Me” reflects prayer and gratitude. - “Hold Me in Your Truth” emphasizes biblical truth. - “Like a Fortress” uses biblical imagery of God as refuge and protection. - “I Dance My Faith” presents an upbeat celebration of faith. - “Christmas Nation of Joy,” inspired by Psalm 97, celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. - The title track, “Rise As One,” was developed in connection with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. - “Rise As One” includes English, Spanish and French, reflecting the tournament’s three host countries: Canada, the United States and Mexico. - The song is framed as both a sports anthem and a statement about teamwork, courage, perseverance and international unity. - The album includes 15 tracks in the full edition and 10 tracks in the Essential Edition, and both versions are intended to stay available at the same time. - Selected tracks listed for the project include “Let the World Be Filled With Love,” “Heaven in My Eyes” and the multilingual title track.

Between the lines: - The project is built to bridge Christian messaging with more familiar commercial and global sounds. - The mix of holiday music, worship, sport and multilingual writing suggests a deliberate effort to widen reach across seasons, cultures and listening habits. - The multiple No. 1 independent radio placements point to a release strategy aimed at both spiritual and chart visibility.

What's next: - Rise As One and Rise As One — Essential Edition are both scheduled for August 2026 release. - The project will continue through radio, digital and music-video promotion. - The album’s retail presence was supported by U.S. campaigns covering about 92,000 locations between August 2025 and August 2026. - Future visibility may also come from the title track’s connection to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The bottom line: - Shekinah Grace Moyes is packaging a broad Christian crossover album as both a worship project and a global-music statement.
