Point of Grace Biography:

It all started in Norman, OK when Denise (Masters) Jones, Heather Floyd and Terry Lang started singing together as the Oauchitones. In 1991 at a Baptist University in Arkansas, Shelley Phillips joined the group and they changed their name to Say So. During a visit to The Christian Artists Seminar in the Rockies, the ladies met John Mays from Word Records, who later signed them. Fast forward 17 years and 14 albums and you've got a group who has sold over five million albums, won 9 Dove Awards, gotten two Grammy nods, written 8 books and garnered two platinum and five gold records as well as 27 consecutive No. 1's.

They've seen some personnel changes in those years. In 2004 after giving birth to her third child, Terry Jones left the group to spend more time with her family. The group's guitar player/band leader, Dana Cappillino, saw his wife Leigh join the group in Terry's spot. In 2008 Heather Payne left the group to spend more time with her own family.

Through it all, the ladies of Point of Grace have felt a pull toward helping teenage girls. In 2002 that pull officially became the Girls of Grace project. A devotional book, a workbook, a journal and an album came out first, followed by yearly Girls of Grace conferences.

The ladies also support Mercy Ministries of America and Compassion International.
