Nominees in Best Gospel category were:

Yolanda Adams
Kim Burrell
James Fortune & FIYA
Fred Hammond
Trin-I-Tee 5:7

The winner of the 2012 BET Award in Best Gospel became Yolanda Adams. Adams received the award for the first project that was done through her label. After Adams received the ward, she encouraged everyone who has dreams in their hearts but is discouraged by others, that she's the living proof that "you can do anything that God placed inside of you". Adams also thanked her co-workers and in-house family.

Lastly, Yolanda Adams challenged everyone in the room to make sure to use their gifts responsibly, because the world, their 'babies' are watching and many wants to become like them.

Congratulations to Yolanda Adams for the win!
