CCM: Fresh, Different, and Good for Congregational Song

Blogger Brian Hehn is the Director of The Center for Congregational Song.

In a very thoughtful and collegial Facebook Group I’m a part of, a member asked this question:

Contemporary congregational song: who would you say is doing stuff that if fresh, original, breaks the mould maybe, different from the rest, and good for congregational song?

Here’s the list of recommendations from folks in that group in the order they appear.

Porter’s Gate

Common Hymnal

Wendell Kimbrough

Civic Club

City Alight

Caroline Cobb Smith

Citizens

Ghost Ship

Sojourn Music

Poor Bishop Hooper
