Best Friends

Lubbock Christian University’s Best Friends has represented LCU in national and international venues since 1983. The group often leads worship for youth rallies, retreats, and other worship events, and also sings concerts for community and church gatherings. In 2013, Best Friends started receiving national recognition as they were nominated to receive a Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award from the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America (CASA), selected among hundreds of professional, amateur, and collegiate groups throughout the country and world. Seven more albums by Best Friends received nominations over the next seven years. In 2019, Best Friends’ album Risen then directed and produced by Gary Moyers and Nathan Anderson, was finally awarded the CARA for Best Religious Album.  In February of this year, Best Friends received an eighth nomination for “Best Religious Album” for the album released in 2022, Solid Rock, at about the same time that they recently released their most recent album, Faithful God.

Find the latest recordings of Best Friends on iTunes & Apple Music, YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music and other popular streaming music sites. Best Friends is directed by Dr. Philip Camp, assisted by Nathan Anderson who serves as the group’s technical director.

Music has always been a part of who I am. I began singing worship songs in Spanish and even learned how to spell my name through music. LCU has provided me the opportunity not only to continue to make music and to bring glory to our Lord, but also to find meaningful community. I am very involved on campus through working as an RA, singing with Best Friends, serving as one of the activities directors in Alliance, serving as an Intramural director, as well as through participating as an active member of Christliche Damen. I am so thankful for my time at LCU so far and the growth that has come from it. I look forward to the next couple of years and to the relationships and growth that will come.
