Geoff Moore and the Distance was a Christian rock band in the late 1980s and most of the 1990s who achieved moderate levels of success. Under the direction of lead singer Geoff Moore, the band released ten albums over the ten years they spent together. Roscoe Meek , Geof Barkley , and Gary Mullett comprised the "Distance" part of the band. In 1998, the band broke up to allow the members to pursue various other musical interests. The band was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album four times.

Their most successful radio hits include "A Friend Like You" from the album of that name, "Life Together" and "Evolution...Redefined" from the Evolution album, and "Home Run", again from the album of that name. Another of their songs to receive frequent radio airplay was a cover of Larry Norman's 1970s hit "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?" which they released on their first album.

Because of Geoff Moore's close friendship with Steven Curtis Chapman, Chapman co-wrote a song with Moore for each album that Moore and the Distance produced, and helped record it.
