“…and as I passed the fire I did not know whether it was hell or the furious love of God.” - GK Chesterton, The Diabolist

HOPE - The joyful anticipation for good from God in EVERY area of life.

We are excited to announce that William Matthews will be releasing his debut worship album, “Hopes Anthem” on July 26th, 2011. William finished recording the album this last week! The album will feature 10 original songs written by William, alongside Brian Johnson, Jeremy Riddle, Christa Black, and other songwriters from of the Bethel Music team.

It has been nearly two months since the release of our latest Bethel Live album, “Be Lifted High.” Our team has been so blessed by your positive feedback. “Be Lifted High” is still going strong, and it’s because of your support. Keep telling your friends about the album on Facebook, Twitter, and at your local church.

Bethel Music is excited to release our second Bethel Live album (CD/DVD), “Be Lifted High” on February 15, 2011. Following the success of “Here is Love (2009),” as a label we were eager to see what the team would come up with in our newest effort.

Bethel Music artist William Matthews is working on his debut album!

William served as Misty Edwards, Justin Rizzo, and Julie Myers' lead prophetic vocalist at IHOP KC. Also, as a popular worship leader at Bethel Church in Redding, CA, he has traveled leading worship with Jesus Culture's Campus Awakening ministry and has been a part of worship teams for The Call.

Artists Ian Macintosh and Lucas Hogg are teaming up to create Bethel Music's first remix CD. It will feature songs we have never covered and many of our hits. This album will combine the natural finesse that made these songs the worship anthems that they are today, and will add a new creative sound and perspective to make these songs into a fresh worship experience.

More than ever, we are sensing a need to find those who influence the worship ministry in various church movements. Our passion is to lead them into open heaven encounters that will ultimately have great impact on the local church. If this is your heart we invite you to see your gifts grow that you may be used to bring His Kingdom to earth.
