Young voices. Eternal songs.
Encouraging Nations Gospel Explosion brings together youth and young adult choirs from across St. Louis to worship, grow, and shine. Founded by JoAnn Roberson after the pandemic to draw a generation back to praise.

Lifting up a generation through gospel music.
When the churches reopened after COVID-19, many young people never returned. We exist to bring them back — through music, fellowship, and the love of Christ.
Gospel Choir
40+ youth and young adults rehearsing across partner churches in north and south St. Louis.
Praise Dance
Movement ministry led by Legendary Heat — telling the gospel story through dance.
