Exclusive. CCM Artist Sara Groves Comes Out as Gay-Affirming

Sara Groves is an award-winning CCM artist. Gaining prominence in the early 2000s, she was nominated for three Dove Awards, including New Artist of the Year in 2002, and was named one of the best Christian music artists of 2005. Her album ‘Add to the Beauty’ with songs like “When it was Over” and “It’s going to be Alright” received critical acclaim and was named Album of the Year by CCM Magazine in 2005.

But like Amy GrantJennifer KnappJars of Clay, DC Talk’s Kevin MaxRelient KSwitchfootFive Iron Frenzy, and many more, Groves has become gay-affirming, referring to herself as a “baby ally.” 

During a 2020 concert for Renovus, a gay-affirming organization founded by Brian Nietzel* and whose board members include pastors and leaders at Andy Stanley’s North Point Community Church, Groves explains some of her journeys into shifting her view on homosexuality from opposition to allyship. 


Editor’s Note.* Nietzel is a gay man ‘married’ to his husband, and he is set to be a speaker at an upcoming Christian family conference at Andy Stanley’s church. Curiously, almost all the speakers are gay-affirming.

  1. I was one of her patrons! I will probably not renew. I bought many of her CDs too, great talent.
    Disappointed for sure.
    And why are so many CCM musicians going with this strange flex? I also enjoy a lot of non-CCM music and they play to make excellent music & sell a lot of albums and concert tickets. Some of them lose that plot with getting too preachy, but that’s not often.
