The Craguns have begun a partnership with StowTown Records. Their first album with the label, Steadfast Love, is now available.

For the past decade, The Craguns have shared the Gospel through their music ministry. The family has performed on many prominent stages across the country. Their warm vocal harmony has become a recognizable part of their music.

Jordan Cragun spoke about working with StowTown Records. “We are honoured to partner with one of the premier record labels in gospel music to help take these songs to the world,” he said. “We are so excited about this new music and truly believe this is one of the strongest collections of lyrics we’ve ever brought together on a single record.”

Steadfast Love contains 12 songs. Wayne Haun produced the album. He has received multiple GRAMMY® nominations and has won Dove Awards. The album includes songs written by Dallas Holm, Sue C. Smith and Stuart Hamblen.

The song “Faithful” was released to radio in January. Joel Lindsey and Caleb Collins wrote it together. The song begins with a gentle introduction and builds into harmonies. The album ends with “My Faith Still Holds,” written by Bill and Gloria Gaither.

Wayne Haun is both the producer and a StowTown label executive. He shared his thoughts about The Craguns. “I’m always excited to work with new young talent, and The Craguns are already proving they’re a force to be reckoned with,” he said. “Their blend is that unexplainable musical phenomenon that happens when a family sings together. Couple that with their ability to communicate these powerful lyrics and a long-lasting career is well on its way.”

Jordan Cragun thanked Wayne Haun for his work. “We have to give a huge shoutout to Wayne Haun for his incredible production on this album,” he said. He added, “Our deepest desire is that this record would be a blessing to every listener and serve as a reminder, each time they listen, of God’s steadfast love.”

Sony/Provident distributes the album exclusively. Steadfast Love is available at digital and retail outlets worldwide.

The Craguns are a family united not only by blood but by a shared mission to spread faith through their music. This dynamic group consists of husband and wife duo Jordan and Elena Cragun, Jordan’s father, Ray Cragun, and his sister, Savannah Cragun. Each member brings a unique element to the group, enriching their ministry and music.

Jordan and Elena Cragun have dedicated their lives to full-time ministry, using their talents to inspire and uplift audiences across the country. Ray Cragun, who has a deep well of experience as a retired pastor, brings wisdom and spiritual guidance to the group, while Savannah’s fresh energy adds a vibrant touch to their performances.

Their journey in music ministry began in earnest in 2013 with the release of their first album. Since then, they have continued to grow in both their musical abilities and their impact on those who hear their message.

One of their standout songs, “Wasted Words,” carries a message that resonates deeply with the group’s core beliefs. Jordan Cragun reflects on the song’s significance, saying, “The song says whether you talk all the time or maybe this time is your first. With God, there’s no wasted words. I am so thankful for a God who cares about everything we face and that we can go boldly to him with our petitions and our concerns and even our praises.”

This song, like many others by The Craguns, serves as a reminder of God’s ever-present care and the importance of faith in every aspect of life. Their music speaks to the heart, offering comfort, hope, and a sense of connection to the divine.

As The Craguns continue their ministry, they remain committed to using their voices not just to sing, but to communicate the deep truths of their faith. Whether on stage or in personal conversations, they live out the message of “Wasted Words,” knowing that with God, every word matters.
