Casting Crowns is a Contemporary Christian and Christian rock band which began in Daytona Beach, Florida. The band was formed in 1999 by lead vocalist Mark Hall. They moved to Stockbridge, Georgia, and more members joined. Some members of the band are currently ministers for Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church in McDonough, Georgia. The band has won a Grammy and a Dove Award. Mark has been quoted as saying “My life purpose is to give God glory through everything I do. If my life does not worship Him, my songs don't either.” This quote encapsulates the band's emphasis on living a life that reflects their faith, not just through music but in every action.
