Steven J. Camp (born April 13, 1955) is an American contemporary Christian music artist and pastor. In the tradition of Martin Luther 's Ninety-Five Theses , Camp sent out his own 107 theses on Reformation Day (October 31), 1998, calling for a reformation in contemporary Christian music: calling Christian musicians to make direct, uncompromising music that confronts the world with the message of the scriptures. Born in Wheaton, Illinois , Camp was raised by Christian parents, and by five years of age he had confessed faith in Jesus . This greatly influenced his desire to serve God through his teenage years. As a young Christian, he created a close bond with legendary Christian singer/songwriter Larry Norman , who gave him advice concerning Camp's own singing and songwriting. In addition, he met the late Keith Green , who encouraged him to make a stronger commitment to Jesus and the ministry of music. Camp was divorced from his first wife prior to 2002. He remarried on June 19, 2009. He is unrelated to Jeremy Camp , a fellow Christian rock musician. Camp is now the senior pastor of The Cross Church in Palm City, Florida. Prior to becoming a conference speaker and lecturer, Camp was a popular contemporary Christian music singer-songwriter. In 1977, he signed a recording contract with Myrrh Records , releasing several songs as a solo artist. In 1983, Camp signed a contract with Sparrow Records , with whom he released six successful albums. On his first album, Fire and Ice , Camp paired up with Michele Pillar to sing "Love's Not A Feeling." In 1989, Camp released his 9th studio album, Justice , on which he recorded the AIDS themed song "Do You Feel Their Pain?" After Camp's contract with Sparrow ended in 1992, he signed with Warner Alliance , with whom he released two albums. On his 1993 release Taking Heaven By Storm , Camp teamed up with veteran keyboardist and songwriter Michael Omartian , and together they produced a series of radio hits in a single year, including a contemporary remake of "The Lord's Prayer." Later that same year, he released a worship-themed project titled Mercy in the Wilderness . After a five year absence, Camp returned with Abandoned to God in 1999 and Desiring God in 2002. Camp focused on pastoring his church in Florida, putting music behind. More than 20 years later, Camp returned to music with the release of a new album called Neighbors In an Age of Rage in the fall of 2024.

Robert Mason "Bob" Carlisle (born September 29, 1956 in Santa Ana, California) is an American Contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter. Carlisle has been in bands Good News and then Psalm 150 with Randy Thomas and Sam Scott in the mid 1970s. In the 1980s, Carlisle was a member of the short-lived band Billy Thermal with songwriter Billy Steinberg. Carlisle has also done some session singing work for mainstream acts like Barry Manilow, Pat Benatar, Poison and REO Speedwagon. After Thomas' previous band Sweet Comfort Band broke up in 1984, Carlisle joined Thomas and Scott, along with Matthew Chapman and Jim Erickson to form the Christian rock band Allies . Allies released six albums from 1985 to 1992. It was from their third album, Shoulder to Shoulder , that Carlisle and Thomas developed a songwriting partnership. Carlisle and Thomas wrote the number one country hit "Why'd You Come in Here Lookin' Like That" for Dolly Parton on her 1989 album White Limozeen . After Allies disbanded, Carlisle went solo to continue on making music and songwriting. His first self-titled solo album was released in 1993, followed by his second album The Hope of a Man , both on Sparrow Records. In 1996, Carlisle signed with Diadem Music Group and released Shades of Grace . The album was then re-titled Butterfly Kisses (Shade of Grace) due to the success of the track "Butterfly Kisses." Carlisle co-wrote the song with Thomas for his daughter Brooke's 16 birthday and it became an immediate hit topping the Billboard AC chart and having a number one album on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. Carlisle and Thomas won both Grammy and Dove Awards for the song. Carlisle's next album Stories From the Heart was continuing the success of "Butterfly Kisses" with the father-son track "Father's Love." The song was featured in the 1998 motion picture and soundtrack album Jack Frost . His final solo album Nothing But the Truth was released in 2000. After that album, Carlisle walked away from recording and touring to spend more time with his family. Carlisle did reunite and reformed with his band Allies and the band have done some occasional concerts throughout the 2000s and 2010s.

Allies was a Christian rock band formed in 1984 by former Sweet Comfort Band member Randy Thomas by bringing in members of two of his former acts: he had been with Bob Carlisle and Jim Erickson in Psalm 150 and was also at one time in the band Sonrise with Sam Scott and Matthew Chapman (Scott was also part of Psalm 150 though not at the same time as Thomas). After the final album Perfect Timing by Sweet Comfort Band was released featuring Thomas and future solo artist - songwriter Bryan Duncan , Allies, with Thomas, Carlisle, Erickson, Scott and Chapman, was formed and was signed to Light Records, even before the group recorded a demo. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1985 and the band took the name at face value as the group appeared on the album jacket cover in military fatigues. Their second album, Virtues , followed a year later in 1986. Both albums were hurt by image-marketing that tried to capitalize on the spiritual warfare fad by presenting the group in paramilitary outfits. Allies left Light Records after Virtues and at the same time Smith left the group. They signed with Word Records in 1987 and released Shoulder to Shoulder as a four-piece band. Allies released their next album Long Way From Paradise in 1989. It would be their most successful album and critically acclaimed. CCM Magazine listed the album as one of the 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music in 2001. Two more albums were released with The River and Man With a Mission . After Man With a Mission was released, Allies disbanded in 1992. Carlisle went on to have a successful solo career and had a hit song with "Butterfly Kisses" in 1997, which he co-wrote with Thomas. Also in 1997, Thomas formed the Christian rock duo Identical Strangers with vocalist Andy Denton and released only one album together.

The Winans are an American R&B gospel quartet composed of four brothers whose additional siblings would also become famous gospel stars. The whole Winans legacy begins with their parents, Delores and David Winans, also known as Mom and Pop Winans, who raised their children in Detroit, Michigan in a home where participation in the Pentecostal Holiness Church constituted one's social life and gospel music reigned supreme. The Winans would become known as "the first family of gospel music." Nine of Mom and Pop's ten children are recording artists: the four brothers, twins Marvin and Carvin, Ronald and Michael, which make up The Winans, brothers BeBe and Daniel and sisters CeCe , Angie and Debbie. Marvin's former wife Vickie Winans is also a gospel recording artist and the children of Carvin, Marvin and Michael make up a short-lived group known as Winans Phase 2. Brothers Ronald, Carvin and Marvin made two albums in the mid 1970s without Michael under the name "The Testimonial Singers." They were discovered by Andraé Crouch in 1979 who signed them, along with Michael, to Light Records. Their first album Introducing The Winans was released in 1981. The album scored a hit with "The Question Is" and garnered them their first Grammy nomination. Two of their albums, Tomorrow and Return , made the list of CCM Magazine 's 2001 book The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music .

BeBe & CeCe Winans are an American gospel music brother and sister duo. BeBe and CeCe Winans are the seventh and eighth of the Winans family's ten children, most of whom have had gospel music careers. Together, they have received several awards, including three Grammy Awards. While BeBe and CeCe were in high school, four of their elder brothers formed the successful gospel group The Winans. Initially known as The Winans Part II, BeBe and CeCe first appeared in the public eye when they debuted in 1982 as part of the singing group The PTL Singers on the Christian television show The PTL Club . They were introduced by founder Jim Bakker, and recorded their first album Lord Lift Us Up in 1984 as a duo for PTL Records. BeBe and CeCe left PTL Singers in 1987 to pursue a musical career and that same year, Sparrow Records offered the two siblings a Gospel recording contract. Their mainstream debut release was the self-titled album BeBe & CeCe Winans . It was produced by Keith Thomas, who would go on to produce Amy Grant and singer/actress Vanessa Williams. The debut record gave them their first R&B hit, "I.O.U. Me", which topped R&B and inspirational charts and generated Grammy nominations, and Dove and Stellar Awards. CeCe also earned a Grammy for "Best Soul Gospel Performance, Female" for the song "For Always." They were one of the first African American artists to receive significant airplay on CCM radio stations and the second African American artists to receive the Dove Award for Group of the Year. BeBe and CeCe released four more albums throughout the 1990s. After their 1994 album Relationships , BeBe and CeCe took a break as a duo to focus on their solo careers. They both reunited in 2009 for their next album Still .
