Transformation Worship, a dynamic band emerging from Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is quickly becoming a luminary in the world of gospel music. Led by the esteemed Pastor Michael Todd, the group has recently achieved a remarkable milestone with their latest album, “Dominion,” ascending to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart. This accomplishment marks their second consecutive No. 1 album, solidifying their influence and resonance within the Christian music scene.
The band initially burst onto the national stage with their debut album, “Overflow,” released in May. The album was met with resounding success, debuting at Nos. 1 and 2 on the Top Gospel Albums and Top Christian Albums charts, respectively. This early success set a high bar, one that “Dominion” has admirably met. Released on July 12, “Dominion” not only claimed the top spot on the gospel chart but also secured the runner-up position on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums list. In its first week alone, the album garnered 5,000 units, a testament to its widespread appeal and the band’s growing fan base.
Each track on “Dominion” is imbued with a message of empowerment and resilience, echoing the core values of Transformation Church. Songs like “Dominion,” “Look at My Fruit,” and “Yours” are more than just musical compositions; they are anthems of faith intended to inspire listeners to embrace their spiritual calling without fear of opposition. This powerful message has resonated deeply with audiences, further cementing Transformation Worship’s place in the gospel music landscape.
Pastor Michael Todd, who took over the church’s music ministry in 2010, has been a pivotal force behind the band’s evolution. Under his stewardship, Transformation Worship has grown from a local church band to a nationally recognized group with a prophetic vision of global impact. The church itself, founded in 1999, has always emphasized the transformative power of worship, viewing it not merely as a ritual but as a lifestyle. This philosophy is evident in the band’s music, which seeks to transcend traditional boundaries and touch hearts across the world.

The band’s journey to prominence began with the viral success of their single “Overflow,” first performed at the 2022 V02 Conference held at Transformation Church. This initial burst of popularity laid the groundwork for their subsequent achievements, including the impressive debut of their albums on the Billboard charts.
In addition to Transformation Worship’s success, it’s worth noting the accomplishments of other Christian music groups. Elevation Worship, another contemporary Christian music collective from Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, recently celebrated its eighth No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart with their album “When Wind Meets Fire.” Released on the same day as “Dominion,” Elevation Worship’s album also saw significant success, earning 8,000 equivalent album units within its first week. Both Transformation Worship and Elevation Worship exemplify the powerful impact that faith-based music can have. They serve as beacons of hope and inspiration, using their talents to spread messages of faith, resilience, and transformation.
For Transformation Worship, the journey has just begun, and with their continued dedication to their craft and their faith, there’s no doubt that they will continue to touch lives and inspire believers around the world.
