Point Of Grace Music
Point of Grace is a contemporary Christian music group that has released twelve albums since 1993. They are one of the top contemporary Christian music groups in the United States with twenty four consecutive number one radio singles. No other act in any genre of music comes close to their record.
Point of Grace - Their meteoric rise in Christian music was unparalleled, taking off at unprecedented speed. Fifteen consecutive #1 radio singles, three gold records (with two certified this year), high-profile television appearances, a major book deal with Pocket Books, consistent Billboard charting action and Grammy and Dove Award accolades.
Yet, for all the attention and excitement surrounding Point Of Grace, the group has unashamedly remained wholeheartedly steady in their music, their lives and their faith. Exemplified by their current project, Steady On, Point Of Grace has never slowed down, and has never looked back.
After making a splash with a debut album that garnered an unprecedented 6 #1 singles (history making success as verified by R& B and Billboard magazines), Point Of Grace has continued to reach the top spot with each song released, resulting in their current 15 consecutive #1 singles and three Top 10 albums. The response remains phenomenal for the foursome (called the "hottest" group in Christian music by The New York Times Magazine) and one of the brightest success stories in recent musical history.
With over 1.5 million records sold, a Grammy nomination and an extraordinary sweep of Dove Awards and nominations for Group of the Year, Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Special Event Album of the Year, and consistent chart action, the group's extraordinary impact extends far beyond charts and numbers. The honesty, integrity and authenticity of these four young women has touched a common chord with audiences across the country and around the world, setting a standard as America's role models in today's society. Simply put, Heather Floyd, Denise Jones, Shelley Breen, and Terry Jones are the real thing. It's that outspoken quality, that genuine connection that shines through the music, the message, and the ministry of Point Of Grace.
What's behind Point Of Grace's extraordinary appeal is a lifetime of making music that communicates truth and celebrates the triumph of Jesus Christ. Formed in 1991, on the campus of the Arkansas college where they attended school together (three of the girls attended the same high school), Point Of Grace has gone from a do-it-yourself labor of love with the foursome handling everything from setting up its own equipment to booking its own shows to a certified multi-media sensation. The group's high profile runs the gamut from a packed concert itinerary including last year's 80-city arena tour which played for over 500,000 people and special guest performances with the nationwide Women Of Faith conferences to television appearances on Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee, CNN Showbiz, VH-1, CBS This Morning, ABC World News Tonight, and ABC's Prime Time Live to coverage in The New York Times magazine, Ladies' Home Journal, USA Today Weekend, Time magazine, The London Times and The Saturday Evening Post. But wherever Point Of Grace appears, the story remains the same, four girls with a simple story to tell and an enormous amount of talent with which to tell it.
In 1998 the story shifts beyond debut artists phenoms and sophomore effort successes. Today Point Of Grace is established as one of the preeminent voices in contemporary Christian music. For Heather, Denise, Shelley and Terry, that means a greater respect from their colleagues and fans, but also a greater responsibility in creating the music and defining the ministry that has brought them this far. It's that steadfast devotion to faith and mission that has made the musical phenomenon of Point Of Grace one of the most heartening stories in Christian music. Ask Heather, Denise, Shelley and Terry why they continue and the answer is steady and true: "Because He has given us so much and we have been called to give to others. It really is, after all, the point of grace."
