The tour will also include a second show at Water of Life Church in Fontana on Dec. 1, as well as two shows at Maranatha Chapel in San Diego on Dec. 3-4 and a concert at Calvary Chapel Downey in Downey, California on Dec. 6.
“Christmas is a reminder that God came near to us in the most beautiful and unexpected way,” Wickham said in a statement. “I love that Christmas music gives us an opportunity to pause, gather together, and celebrate the hope and joy we have because of Jesus. I’m so excited to bring this Christmas Tour back to Southern California and sing these songs with friends, family, and our church community. My prayer is that, in the middle of all the lights, traditions, and celebrations, we would be reminded of what Christmas is really about—that God is with us. I can’t wait to worship and celebrate with you this Christmas!”
Wickham recently picked up not only artist of the year, but worship album of the year (for Song of the Saints) and children’s recorded song of the year (“Follow The Light” with Brandon Engman and Angel) at the GMA Dove Awards. He also recently wrapped his headlining Song of the Saints tour, which featured Tauren Wells and Jamie MacDonald.
Currently, Wickham has two songs on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart, with his Crowder collaboration “It Really Is Amazing Grace” at No. 4, and “Everyday Hallelujah” at No. 28.
