Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago

Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago is a contemporary gospel act led by pastor and singer Charles Jenkins, based at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago. The group blends traditional Black church worship with modern gospel and R&B-inflected arrangements, built around Jenkins's warm, conversational vocal delivery and a large, dynamic choir sound.

The group is best known for the anthem «Awesome», a praise-and-worship staple that became one of the defining gospel radio hits of the early 2010s and earned wide airplay and award recognition. Other recordings such as «Worthy Is Your Name» and «Days of Elijah» show the group's range between celebratory praise and more meditative worship material, often captured in energetic live recordings that reflect their roots as a church-based ensemble.

Within the gospel genre, Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago represent the Chicago urban contemporary gospel tradition, favoring accessible melodies and communal, call-and-response energy over stripped-down traditional hymnody. Their work has helped keep congregational gospel music relevant on mainstream gospel charts and radio.
