Worship Leader Charles Weems Releases Debut EP 'I Will Follow'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 12, 2026)
Rising worship artist and Provident Entertainment newcomer Charles Weems released his new EP, I Will Follow. Building on the momentum of his breakout songs “Slow Me Down” and “I Will Follow,” the project introduces new music, including “God Is Everywhere” and “Tis So Sweet,” offering listeners a collection of heartfelt worship songs centered on trusting God, embracing His presence, and following His lead.

The EP arrives following an impressive debut for Weems with Provident Entertainment. His single “I Will Follow” generated more than 600,000 streams worldwide in its first week, while content featuring the song garnered more than six million social media views. The song also earned more than 5,000 pre-saves ahead of its release, setting a new benchmark as the second-most pre-saved debut single in Provident Entertainment history, behind only Brandon Lake.

“I Will Follow is a collection of songs to inspire your walk with the only One who matters: our King,” Charles Weems shares. “On the mountain or in the valley, if you seek Him, you will surely find Him.” He's a present help in trouble. He's a friend that sticks closer than a brother. You don't have to strive to find Him. Here's a reminder: God is everywhere.”

Among the project's new offerings is “God Is Everywhere,” a powerful reminder of God's constant presence through every season of life. The song reflects Weems' desire to encourage listeners to recognize that God is always near, whether in moments of joy, uncertainty, or hardship.

Raised in Vero Beach, Florida, Weems comes from generations of ministry and remains deeply rooted in the local church. His great-grandparents helped establish the family's church, where his father now serves as pastor. That foundation continues to shape his approach to songwriting, which he describes as “prayers in the form of melodies,” and his commitment to creating music that serves the Church.
