The Nashville-based management company walked away from Christian music's fan-voted awards weekend with two wins and five nominations across its roster.

BrickHouse Entertainment came out of the 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards weekend with back-to-back wins. MercyMe took home Group of the Year - a fan-voted honor for a band that has now spent more than three decades making music that keeps showing up in sanctuaries and on radio playlists alike. The affiliated film I Can Only Imagine 2 received the Film Impact Award, extending the reach of a story that already inspired one of the best-known Christian songs ever written.

The company also collected three additional nominations on the night: MercyMe for Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for "Make It Well," and Bay Turner for Breakout Single of the Year with "Somebody's Praying." Turner also participated in the weekend's emerging artist showcase, hosted by MercyMe's Bart Millard.

Beyond the awards, BrickHouse had a visible presence throughout the weekend. MercyMe, alongside Sam Wesley and Tim Timmons, performed during the awards show, taped May 24 at the Grand Ole Opry and broadcast nationally on TBN on May 29.

"Events like the K-LOVE Fan Awards are always special because they bring together a community of believers to celebrate what God is doing through music," said Chase Swayze of BrickHouse Entertainment. "To see several of our artists recognized and highlighted in that environment is truly remarkable."

The awards weekend, now in its 13th year, was held at Gaylord Opryland Resort and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. An encore broadcast airs on TBN and the TBN+ app on June 5.
