Once a year, the growing field of Christian music is corporately reflected upon in the form of the Gospel Music Associations’ Dove Awards. Through this exercise industry and trade alike recognize the music, which has had the greatest impact over the past year. By doing so, they further expand the reach of the music which has already blessed many lives. Now, a new musical experience will be introduced in 2002, emerging from the partnership of EMI Christian Music Group, Provident Music Group and Word Entertainment. This new experience entitled Dove Hits 2002 shares the vision of the Dove Awards: to take spiritually moving and motivating songs to a wider audience, exponentially increasing their collective reach and impacting lives in the process.
