- Alone in His Presence (1995)

The majority of the album is produced by brothers Cedric and Victor Caldwell, along with Greg Nelson and CeCe's brother BeBe Winans producing one track each. Alone in His Presence is a mix of some contemporary and traditional gospel songs with hymns and covers. CeCe covers the Steven Curtis Chapman track "His Strength is Perfect." A music video was made for the song "Every Time," but is more of an R&B video remix than the regular studio version. This version is not available retail-wise as a single, just made for the video. CeCe's mother Delores (Mom Winans) duets on the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness." The album climbed to number 2 on both Billboard Top Gospel Albums and Top Christian Albums and peaked at number 124 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. In 1996, CeCe won her fourth Grammy Award overall (her third as a solo act) for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album at the 38th Grammy Awards and has won two Dove Awards for Traditional Gospel Recorded Song of the Year, along with Mom Winans, with "Great is Thy Faithfulness" and Female Vocalist of the Year at the 27th GMA Dove Awards.

- With All of My Heart - The Greatest Hits (2006)
With All of My Heart - The Greatest Hits is an official compilation album by the Christian girl group ZOEgirl . It was officially released by Sparrow Records on December 27, 2005, but this will count as a 2006 release. The title is named after their first number one Christian CHR hit of the same name, taken from their second album Life . This collection comprises 13 of ZOEgirl's best-known radio songs and album cuts, plus two new recordings: "Unchangeable," which is the only single to be released to Christian radio and made the Top 30 on both Billboard and Radio and Records Christian radio charts, and "One Day." Both new tracks were produced by Tedd T. There are five tracks that have differences from the original album versions. It will be noted in the track listings. With All of My Heart is ZOEgirl's last charted album on the Billboard Top Christian Albums as it debuted and peaked at number 42. After this release in 2006, ZOEgirl went their separate way as each member embarked on solo careers and collaborations. In 2008 after Chrissy Conway-Katina and Kristin Swinford -Schweain released solo albums, they formed a new group called ColmanBlue with Kelli Trontel and released a single in 2009. Alisa Childers released her only self-titled solo album in 2007 and in late 2011, Childers released an album with her sisters and nieces calling themselves Girard Girls with their self-titled release. After more than four years of inactivity and separation, ZOEgirl reunited on February 27, 2011, for an interview on The Brian Mason Show . At the time, the group made no plans to create music together, but says that it is still possible. Track listings 1.

- Room to Breathe (2005)
Room to Breathe is the fourth studio album by the Christian girl group ZOEgirl , released on March 15, 2005 by Sparrow Records. Room to Breathe continues ZOEgirl's pop rock sound as heard from their previous album Different Kind of Free . However, its two singles were not as successful as their past hits. The lead single, "About You," peaked at the Top 5 on the Christian radio charts and its second single "Scream" did moderately well. But unlike their previous albums, there were no music videos made to promote the album. Room to Breathe charted and peaked on the following Billboard album charts: -#5 Top Christian Albums -#1 Heatseekers Albums -#108 Billboard 200 Albums This is ZOEgirl's highest charting album to date as it peaked in higher positions on all three Billboard album charts, especially on the Heatseekers chart where it is their first number one album on that chart. Robert Marvin and Josiah Bell, going collectively by their name Doubledutch, produced the majority of the album with Tedd T. producing three tracks, Mark Heimmerman produced the tracks "Scream" and "Dead Serious" and Shaun Shankel produced "About You."

- ZOEgirl
ZOEgirl is an American Christian pop girl group formed in 1999. The group comprised Chrissy Conway-Katina, Alisa Girard (she is the eldest daughter of early Christian music pioneer Chuck Girard and his wife Karen) and Kristin Swinford-Schweain. They were signed to Sparrow Records from 1999 to 2006 and released their debut single "I Believe" in 2000. This song and their self-titled debut album ZOEgirl helped them become Sparrow's fastest selling artist of all time. "With All of My Heart ," the lead single for their second album Life , was the group's only No. 1 Christian contemporary hit radio (CHR) single and led to the group receiving a GMA Dove Award for New Artist of the Year in 2002. By the end of 2003, over one million albums from ZOEgirl were sold. As a response to the musical trends of the time, ZOEgirl changed their format from teen pop to pop rock with the release of " You Get Me " in 2003. Released as the lead single for their third album, Different Kind of Free , this was their only No. 1 Christian adult contemporary (AC) single. It also peaked at No. 2 on CHR, making it the second-highest ZOEgirl song on that chart. The group's musical change and the growing digital piracy at the time led to slower sales of ZOEgirl's music. Their highly anticipated fourth and final studio album Room to Breathe earned the No. 1 spot on Billboard 's Top Heatseekers Album charts. It was ZOEgirl's least successful album in terms of US Christian radio airplay, with only "About You" and "Scream" released as singles and the latter being unsuccessful. In 2006, ZOEgirl disbanded, and Kristin and Chrissy formed the group Colman Blue with Kelly Trontell, which split up in January 2010. Alisa pursued a solo career, got married to Mike Childers who played drums for ZOEgirl on tour and raised a family. Alisa has also authored three books. In August 2025, after more than two decades apart, ZOEgirl has reunited (with updated photos of themselves) and have announced on their social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, that they are celebrating 25 years of music and memories and "something special" is coming. No further information has been announced, but will be updated soon. In biblical Greek, the word “zoe” means “life” – real, genuine life, a life active and vigorous. The Bible connects this concept of life to the fullness of living that comes from a faith relationship with Jesus Christ.

- Different Kind of Free (2003)
Different Kind of Free is the third studio album by the Christian girl group ZOEgirl , released on September 16, 2003 by Sparrow Records. Tedd T. produced a majority of the album with musician Lynn Nichols co-producing the track "Unbroken" and Robert "Aurel M" Marvin producing the title track. It was a musical transition for ZOEgirl as they traded in their bubblegum/dance/ pop sound of their first two albums for a pop rock sound, pretty much like Christian artist Rebecca St. James ' transition in the mid-1990s when she released her 1996 album God . The track "Here and Now," from their last album Life , served as a map to their transitional sound as their lyrics are more mature and the electric guitars are up front. Each track with the lyrics on the CD has a theme verse from the Bible. The lead single and music video "You Get Me" was written by group member Chrissy Conway-Katina and her husband James Katina of the Christian vocal group The Katinas. The lyrics are inspired by Psalm 139, describing how the God of Christianity is the only one who truly and intimately knows and understands the life of an individual. The song exists to encourage those who are struggling, especially Christians. "You Get Me" was an immediate hit on both the Christian CHR and AC charts. The song topped Radio & Records Christian AC chart and peaked at number two on both Billboard Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts. Their second single "Beautiful Name" was a Top 10 hit on the Christian radio charts as well. In 2004, their music video for "You Get Me" was nominated for a Dove Award for Short Form Music Video of the Year. Different Kind of Free charted and peaked on the following Billboard album charts: -#9 Top Christian Albums -#4 Heatseekers Albums -#149 Billboard 200 Albums NOTE: before Mat Kearney made a name for himself as a mainstream singer and songwriter, he started in Christian music with this album by co-writing and rapping a verse on the title song "Different Kind of Free."

- Life (2001)
Life is the second studio album by the Christian girl group ZOEgirl , released on November 20, 2001 by Sparrow Records. Life opens with the lead single "With All of My Heart." A pumped-up worship pop track, the song was a hit on both Christian CHR and AC radio charts. The rest of the album continues their contemporary pop sound with hints of dance pop, euro-dance, R&B and some adult contemporary. A music video was made for their further single "Dismissed." The dance pop track encourages young ladies to end (or, in this case, "dismiss") unhealthy relationships, while also not giving in to Satan and temptation. "Plain" is a slowed-down pop ballad written solely by group member Kristin Swinford -Schweain. Lyrically similar to Christina Aguilera's pop ballad "Beautiful," (even though "Beautiful" wasn't released until a year later), "Plain" is written about Kristen's personal struggles with self-esteem and it reminds the listener, for those who have self-esteem struggles, that they are a precious treasure, no matter what others say. The track "Here and Now" is a pop rock track with electric guitars and drum loops. The lyrics encourage Christians to stand together and live for Jesus with all they have. This music genre becomes more common in ZOEgirl's final two Sparrow releases Different Kind of Free and Room to Breathe . The final track "The Truth," written solely by group member Alisa Childers, is a slowed-down song reminiscent of the ZOEgirl track "Constantly." The final section of the song ends at 6:10. After 18 seconds of silence, the hidden track of "ABCs to Salvation" begins at the 6:28 mark, which can be heard. Life charted and peaked on the following Billboard album charts: #9 Top Christian Albums #111 Billboard 200 Albums #2 Heatseekers Albums In 2002, ZOEgirl won their first, and only, Dove Award for New Artist of the Year at the 33rd GMA Dove Awards.

- ZOEgirl (2000)
ZOEgirl is the debut album by the Christian girl group ZOEgirl . It was released by Sparrow Records on August 15, 2000. After the ZOEgirl group was formed, they immediately began to work on their self-titled album at a fast pace. They temporarily separated during the Christmas holidays of 1999 to pray about the album and the message they should record on it. After this, they realized that they wanted to talk about their relationships with God and the romantic relationships that people may face in life. Producers remarked that paper, drafting the debut album's content, was scattered all around the studio. ZOEgirl worked with producers Tedd T., Joey P. and Michael Quinlan to craft their sound. ZOEgirl released their self-titled debut album by August of 2000 featuring a mix of bubblegum pop with their mainstream pop contemporaries like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys and even their Christian boy band counterpart Plus One. Songs like "I Believe" (their lead single and music video), "Anything Is Possible" and "Living For You" were Christian radio hits. ZOEgirl charted and peaked on the following Billboard album charts: #11 Top Christian Albums #8 Heatseekers Albums #173 Billboard 200 Albums Each of the members were all involved with songwriting with at least one member or all three member writing the material for the album. To promote themselves and the album, ZOEgirl embarked on a 45-city summer tour with Christian artists Clay Crosse and Nichole Nordeman in 2000 and in the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001, they toured with Carman on a 70-city stadium tour.
