WGTS Listeners Blessed by Elevation Worship Concert

Close to 14,000 people packed out Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., to hear music from Elevation Worship and an inspirational message from Pastor Steven Furtick. Initially, the arena was set up for 12,000 people, but it was expanded several times due to demand, according to arena staff.

“It was amazing to see so many people coming to worship and praise God together,” said WGTS midday host Becky Alignay. “Listeners filled the arena to the brim with young people and older people who reflected a variety of races and backgrounds. What a powerful and healing event, especially considering the times we’re living in.”

Staff and volunteers from WGTS met and prayed with listeners on the main concourse before and during the concert. “It was incredible. Listeners stood for more than three hours straight singing along to every song word for word,” said WGTS Director of Promotions and Community Engagement Ken Scribner.
