Bethel Music

Bethel Music is a worship movement pursuing the presence of God and capturing fresh expressions of worship out of Redding, California. Bethel Music has grown from a local church music ministry to a global outreach made up of a collective of songwriters, artists and musicians. Brian and Jenn Johnson co-founded this movement in 2001; their mission was to raise up worshippers who take hold of their true identity and pursue intimacy with God above all else. Since 2001, the Bethel Music collective has released 17 worship albums, the most recent releases being Homecoming (2021), Peace (2021), and Simple (2022), each carrying a unique theme and featuring some of the most well-recognized artists in the genre. In 2021, the label was nominated for 6 Dove Awards, and another 11 in 2022, spanning categories from Songwriter of the Year and Worship Album of the Year to Inspirational and Rock/Contemporary Songs of the Year. As a youthful label of only 13 years, Bethel Music has broken records, ranking in CCLI’s top 25 songs since 2013. Their song “This Is Amazing Grace” has ranked in the top 25 songs since 2014, “No Longer Slaves” since 2016, and “The Lion and the Lamb” since 2017. In addition, “RecklessLove” has appeared in the top 10 since 2018 and “Living Hope” in the top 10 since 2019. Hitting a new stride over the last few years, Bethel Music has continually ranked at #6 in the top 10 radio market share.
