Shekinah Glory Ministry's ultimate purpose is reflected in the meaning of its name -- to usher listeners into the "very manifest presence of God."  Shekinah Glory Ministry (SGM) is not comprised of "recording artists," but servants that worship every Sunday as the praise and worship aggregate of Valley Kingdom Ministries International, a non-denominational church in the Chicagoland area where Apostle H. Daniel Wilson serves as Senior Pastor.

This group of 21st century psalmists, minstrels, karar, encouragers and banner bearers, operate under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.  Though they continue to minister each Sunday at their local church, SGM also has ministered with such renowned artists as Bishop T.D. Jakes, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ, Albertina Walker,  Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary, Cece Winans and Vickie Winans  just to name a few. The ministry also has appeared on secular and ministry venues nationally and internationally -- including: New York's KISS-FM 9-11Unity Concert at Madison Square Garden, Sao Paulo Brazil's Pacembe Soccer Stadium, World Congress Center, T.D. Jakes' MEGAFEST in Atlanta, Gospel Superfest in New York and Atlanta, Million More March in Washington, DC (broadcast live on CNN and CSPAN), Stellar Awards Showcase, Barbados Gospelfest, TBN's Praise the Lord, Juanita Bynum's Threshing Floor and many other forums.    

Shekinah Glory's worship style incorporates a unique variety of ballads and contemporary praise and worship selections.  Unrehearsed prophetic worship and spiritual warfare selections are birthed during their recordings and appearances.  The ministry has traveled nationally and internationally teaching local praise teams the songs of Shekinah Glory.  SGM's premiere recording, "Praise is What I Do" was certified Gold by RIAA and is reaching Platinum.  The PIWID concept video has appeared on BET Gospel and Lift Every Voice. Ultimately, the CD received local, national and international success and was included on the WOW Gospel 2003 CD which was certified Gold and Platinum.  

SGM's second live praise and worship double CD, SHEKINAH GLORY MINISTRY LIVE, was released and immediately hit BILLBOARD charts where it remained for over 103 weeks and was also certified Gold by RIAA.  The SHEKINAH GLORY MINISTRY LIVE DVD was released in 2005 and has been certified Platinum by RIAA.  Praise and worship songs from this release including "YES" and "HOW DEEPLY I NEED YOU" is still being played across the nation on independent and syndicated radio stations.

This project also earned SGM six nominations and a finalist for the 2005-06 Stellar Awards in the category of "CHOIR OF THE YEAR." Shekinah Glory Ministry was blessed to sing on two exclusive BET events; The Bobby Jones Gospel and Celebration of Gospel hosted by Steve Harvey. Shekinah Glory Ministry's new live recording, "JESUS", was released on September 25, 2007.  It has had a home at the top of the Billboard Gospel Charts debuting at number 2 before hitting number 1 in its third week and never dropping below number 10 in the first 52 weeks.  JESUS finished on the Billboard Charts in 2008 as the #4 song of the year and SGM as the #3 artist of the year.  Shekinah Glory Ministry continues to receive acclaim for their projects earning a Stellar Award in January 2009 for the “Praise and Worship CD of the Year” as well as a Chicago Music Award for the “Best Gospel CD of the Year”.
