It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of legendary Christian recording artist, songwriter, and pastor Steve Camp, who went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at the age of 71, following a battle with heart failure.
For more than five decades, Steve Camp was a powerful voice in Christian music, using his extraordinary gifts to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With 22 albums, 15 No. 1 songs, more than 40 Top 10 hits, and a Grammy nomination, his influence on contemporary Christian music was profound.
Songs like He's All You Need, Run to the Battle, He Covers Me, and Living in Laodicea challenged and encouraged generations of believers.
But Steve's legacy extended far beyond music. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, pastor, and preacher who never wavered in his commitment to the truth of God's Word.
On Facebook, the Camp family shared the following heartfelt announcement. We wanted to share their words with you exactly as they were written.
Official Statement from the Camp Family
It is with heavy hearts, yet great hope in Christ, that we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Steve Camp.
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, after a battle with heart failure, the Lord called Steve Home.
For over 50 years, Steve dedicated his life to proclaiming the Gospel through music, preaching, and life on life ministry. His greatest desire was to make much of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Two passages that shaped his life and ministry were Acts 20:24 and 2 Corinthians 4:5.
Acts 20:24
"But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God."
2 Corinthians 4:5
"For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake."
Though our hearts are broken, we rejoice in knowing that Steve has finished his race. The One he spent his life proclaiming is the One he now worships face to face, in His unfiltered presence, for all eternity.
We are grateful for your prayers, and support for our family during this time.
To God alone be the glory.
The Camp Family

As we remember Steve Camp, we celebrate not only the music he gave us but also the message he spent his life proclaiming.
His songs will continue to encourage believers, and his commitment to the Gospel will remain an enduring part of his legacy.
We ask that you join us in praying for the Camp family during this difficult time.
Well done, good and faithful servant.
From all of us at Girder Music and Girder Records, thank you, Steve, for a lifetime of music, ministry, and faithfulness to Jesus Christ.
