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 an internationally renowned collective of songwriters, artists and musicians. Brian and Jenn Johnson co-founded the movement in 2001 to raise up worshippers to take hold of their true identities, and pursue intimacy with God, above all else.

Since 2001, the Bethel Music collective has released 17 worship albums including Homecoming (2021), Peace (2021), Simple (2022), Come Up Here (2023), and Moments: Wait (Live) (2024). Each album carries a unique theme and features some of the most well-recognized artists in the genre. In 2021, the label was nominated for six Dove Awards, and another 11 in 2022, spanning across categories like “Songwriter of the Year,” “Worship Album of the Year,” and “Inspirational and Rock/Contemporary Song of the Year.” Most recently, Bethel Music released We Must Respond, one of the most anticipated albums of the16 years as a label. Several singles off the new album include “No One Like The Lord (Live),” “If The Lord (Live),” and “Even Though I Walk (Live)” featuring artists including Jenn Johnson, Zahriya Zachary, and Hannah McClure.

Since forming, Bethel Music has broken records, ranking in CCLI's Top 25 songs since 2013.
