CeCe Winans has been recording since 1984, first as half of a duo and then across a substantial solo career. Here are twenty projects that map the catalogue.
#1. Lord Lift Us Up (1984)
The first BeBe & CeCe Winans album, released under PTL Records, beginning a career now spanning over four decades.
#2. BeBe & CeCe Winans (1987)
The album that brought the duo genuine stardom and began the crossover into mainstream audiences.
#3. Heaven
The duo project that consolidated their position and produced material still in her live sets.
#4. Different Lifestyles (1991)
The historic release: the first gospel album by a duo to sell more than a million copies.
#5. Relationships
A later duo project continuing the blend of gospel content and contemporary R&B production.
#6. Alone in His Presence
A solo project that established she could carry an album without her brother.
#7. Everlasting Love
Solo work continuing the crossover approach that defined the duo years.
#8. His Gift
Her Christmas material, which underpins the holiday touring that returns for the 2026 season.
#9. CeCe Winans
A self-titled solo project, the kind of statement record that marks a settled artistic identity.
#10. Throne Room
A move toward congregational worship material rather than performance-oriented recording.
#11. Purified
Continuing solo work through a period when she was increasingly focused on worship leadership.
#12. Thy Kingdom Come
Worship material reflecting her church role in Nashville.
#13. Songs of Emotional Healing
A project explicitly built around the comfort function much of her catalogue serves.
#14. Believe For It (2021)
The Grammy-winning project that found an entirely new generation of worship listeners.
#15. The Believe For It film (2021)
CeCe Winans: Believe for It documented the project and her career around it.
#16. The Hymns (2026)
Released 5 June 2026, returning to the traditional church music she grew up singing in Detroit.
#17. What a Friend We Have in Jesus
The lead single from The Hymns, and one of the most widely known hymns in the tradition.
#18. Live worship recordings
Congregational recordings travel differently from studio versions and have extended several of her songs’ reach.
#19. Collaborations
Her work with Whitney Houston, Mavis Staples and others sits outside the album catalogue but reached the widest audiences.
#20. The Christmas catalogue
Her holiday material supports a touring tradition returning in 2026 with her sisters Angie and Debbie Winans.
The bottom line: The catalogue divides cleanly: the duo era that broke commercial ground, the solo years that established her as a worship artist, and a late period producing her most decorated work. Very few careers get stronger in the third act.
