About
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.
When 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), 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, “Reckless Love” 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.

Do you ever wonder if God is still in control of this world? It's normal to wonder that, but at the same time, we need to keep reminding ourselves that God is indeed all-powerful. In spite of all our circumstances, the power of God is real and relevant. When we sing about his power, our hearts are filled with hope, courage, and renewed confidence to face another day. These are the songs that remind us of the powerful God we serve.

When we sing about God's grace and we believe the truth deep in our hearts, it affects our lives. We live with more compassion. We extend more mercy. We feel more empathy. This is why worship songs about grace and mercy are so important to the church. Every day and every week, through song and word, we must remind ourselves about the nature of God who is full of grace. What we receive from God, we extend to others. This is the full cycle of worship.

Contemporary hymns are not new, and not old, but somewhere in the middle. They are the perfect union of traditional words and melodies and modern music. These contemporary hymn arrangements embrace the beauty of singing these songs with believers through the ages while doing it in a new and unique way.

This is as up-to-date as it gets. If a new song hits the airwaves and it starts trending fast, chances are you will be able to spot it here. If an old song suddenly spikes because of a unique current event, you'll see that here as well. So get out a bag of popcorn and hit refresh every 10 minutes to watch the race. Listen on Spotify.

These days, most of the great worship songs end up on a radio playlist somewhere in this world. People love to cruise down the highway with their windows open and hands raised (well, at least one hand) while having their own private time of worship. On a practical note, artists will often record a special radio version of their song that is trimmed down to around three minutes. You won't find a lot of spontaneous repetition in these arrangements. Here is a list of our top praise and worship radio hits.

Some people like to sing by memory, some like to see the words on the screen, and some like the music written out on paper, in "good old-fashioned four-part harmony." We have made this series of Hymn Sheets to arrange all the great contemporary worship songs in a format consistent with the hymnal in your pews. These sheets are great as inserts in your bulletin for your congregation to follow along. By the way, photocopying these sheets for your congregation is covered by CCLI.
