A milestone for Caleb Andrew.
For Caleb Andrew, 2026 has brought a defining moment in his music ministry. The Missouri recording artist and songwriter earned both Favorite Male Artist and New Song of the Year at the MyHopeRadio Apostolic Music Awards.
Andrew received three nominations. His February 2026 release, “Holy (In the Valley),” earned the New Song of the Year honor, while Favorite Male Artist recognized the voice behind the recording. He is the first artist or group to win two awards in a single year since the awards began in 2019.
A worship pastor at Lighthouse Church, Andrew’s musical life extends beyond recording. Leading worship and serving his local congregation remain central to his ministry, alongside his work as an artist and songwriter. He is also a husband and father of three, pursuing music with a desire to serve listeners and provide for his family.
Songwriting is a significant part of that pursuit. Along with recording his own material, Andrew is working toward opportunities for other artists to record his songs, extending the reach of his writing through new voices and audiences.
The awards follow another recognition earlier in the year. In March, MyHopeRadio selected Andrew as one of its Featured Music Ministers during its 2026 Music Minister Appreciation Campaign. Coming just after the release of “Holy (In the Valley),” the feature helped mark a year in which listeners would recognize both his ministry and his music.
MyHopeRadio, the internet radio ministry of the United Pentecostal Church International, hosts the annual listener-driven Apostolic Music Awards. Although previous artists and groups have earned multiple nominations, Andrew’s two wins establish a first in the program’s history.
For Caleb Andrew, the recognition marks a new chapter as he pursues recording, songwriting, and opportunities to bring his music to a broader gospel audience.
