Pastor Mike Jr.<\/a> thoroughly dominated the 2025 Stellar Gospel Music Awards, which was taped live at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville on Saturday, Aug. 16. He won in all nine categories in which he was nominated. Pastor Mike Jr. won artist of the year for the fourth time, which allows him to pull ahead of Kirk Franklin<\/a> and Marvin Sapp<\/a> as the top winner in the history of the category. Franklin and Sapp have each won three times.<\/p>\n

These nine awards ups Pastor Mike Jr.\u2019s total of Stellar Awards to 28. Pastor Mike Jr., 41, is a contemporary gospel singer, public speaker, and pastor from Birmingham, Alabama. The artist, born Michael McClure Jr., is the founder of Rock City Church, which has four churches in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.<\/p>\n

More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are just 30 categories at the Stellar Gospel Music Awards, so Pastor Mike Jr. won nearly one-third of the awards presented on the night. He won five awards, including album of the year, for his EP I Got Away<\/em>, which reached No. 5 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Top Gospel Albums chart in May 2024. He won four awards, including song of the year, for \u201cAmen,\u201d which reached No. 4 on Hot Gospel Songs in January 2025.<\/p>\n

Cece Winans<\/a> was runner-up, with three awards. The Group Fire<\/a>, Ricky Dillard<\/a> and Dorinda Clark-Cole<\/a> each won two.<\/p>\n

Jason Nelson<\/a>, who had tied with Pastor Mike Jr. for the most nominations (nine) won just one award, contemporary album of the year for You Belong: Live in Durham<\/em>. Nelson had the misfortune of going up against Pastor Mike Jr. in six categories.<\/p>\n

ADIA took the award for new artist of the year. \u00a0Don Jackson, founder of the Stellar Awards and chairman of Central City Productions, Inc., received the James Cleveland Lifetime Achievement Award.<\/p>\n

The Stellar Awards also announced winners for the Gospel Radio of the Year Awards in six categories.<\/p>\n

This year marked the show\u2019s first time in Nashville since 2021, following stints in Atlanta (2022) and Las Vegas (2023-24). This year\u2019s Stellar Awards capped STELLAR PLUS week, which ran from Aug. 14-16.<\/p>\n

The 40th Stellar Gospel Music Awards show was executive produced by Jackson with Jennifer J. Jackson serving as producer and executive in charge of production; Michael A. Johnson as producer and director, Erin Johnson as talent producer, and Daniel Moore as music director.<\/p>\n
