Every Grammys Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song winner

11 ceremonies, 2015–2025. 10 different winners.

Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song was first awarded in 2015, so it does not run the full 2000–2025 window.

Like its gospel counterpart it merged a songwriters' award with a performers' award, and it honours both on the winning recording.
