“The Altar and The Door,” which debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 in August, set a new record for a Christian artist without crossover promotion in the mainstream market. The album was certified gold last month by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album spent 12 weeks on the Top Christian Albums chart with the single “East to West” continuing to hold the top spot at Christian AC radio 23 weeks after its release. A couple of tunes from the record are streaming at Casting Crowns’ MySpace page.

The band also took home a win at November’s fan-voted American Music Awards, picking up the trophy for Favorite Artist in the Contemporary Inspirational category
