We would like to invite you to Bethel Music Worship School this summer in Redding, California. God is stirring up passionate worshippers and we believe that as we gather together to grow, learn and receive - His transformative Presence will mark this generation of worshippers.
- Brian and Jenn
Come and learn what it means to be fully alive in Christ and grow in a deeper understanding of who you are in Him. Identity is paramount to the life of a Worshiper and Creation is longing for sons and daughters to proclaim the Goodness of God. The world needs what you have, and we would love to know you too.
In His presence we are transformed. When we see Him, we will be like Him. Our family, cities, and nations are transformed when we step into the grace and power we have through Christ Jesus.
“Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2
We’re inviting people from every background to gather, connect, grow, and be inspired by other creatives and worshippers from around the world. We are committed to your development, and as you grow — we all grow. Let's have some fun.
You were created to express the image of God to the world around you. There is an immeasurable amount of possibility available to you when you partner with God. Come ready to explore the songs, stories, sound, and message He has placed inside of you. There is something in you that no one else has – we want the world to see that.
Dive deep into the practicals with over 50 classes of various topics including: worship leading, songwriting, music publishing, instrument and theory, voice, studio production, pastoral leadership, and prophetic worship; with teachers who are experts in their sphere.
God inhabits the praises of His people – He longs to be our very breath. As we encounter His face and magnify His name, we become more like Him – and the more like Him we become, the more of the Kingdom we will see. Come expectant to see God move in ways you’ve never seen before; come ready to commune with the Living God.

Hear from some of the best musicians, teachers, and ministers during your Breakout Sessions.
During Hayley Braun’s class, ‘Heaven’s Pace’, I was delivered of striving to be both mom and dad to my kids (their dad is not in their life at all). I came home completely on fire for the Lord, and equipped to spread revival in our little town. We will be back!
Because of worship school, my husband not only is open to the prophetic, he is also operating in it and allowing the love of God to flow through him so freely! When we got home, we had a meeting with our young adults group from church and we were able to pray for them and encourage them through the prophetic. I am so happy that The Holy Spirit is free to move in our lives again in these areas!
I’ve been having dreams every night since I’ve come to this conference. I am usually not a dreamer (God speaks to me in other ways) but I have been getting dreams, some that are prophetic, since the conference!
I heard the voice of the LORD clearly and experienced His direction, correction, encouragement, and love all at this event. Thank you for being great stewards!
I was having some issues with my ears and they were healed. I also had for a while this heaviness and veil of fuzziness over my head that created a lot of problems with my mental health but also made it very hard to hear the Lord; it was broken.
I loved Hayley Braun’s devotion time, as well as Peter Mattis’. God did a lot in my heart last year for my own life at worship school. This year, He did a lot in my heart for those on my team and to be poured out in the church I’m leading in. I also walked away with a greater appreciation for the leaders I have in my life and a greater respect for them. Thank you for an awesome Worship School this year!
I was so blessed to be “invited into the living room” of the leaders at Bethel during a difficult time. We were shown healthy ways of dealing with grief during the most difficult of times and I believe that Christian ministry across the country will be different because of it.
The Lord spoke to me during this weekend and confirmed the calling I felt in my heart to pursue worship.
Just felt loved on. Ministry is hard. And y’all provided an environment where I didn’t have to worry about sound, keys, planning center...

In 2017 shortly after graduating High school, he embarked on a journey in his 1977 Dodge Camper van that he and his Father built (Cleverly named “The Dreamboat”), to Redding California where he would begin attending school from the years 2017-2020. During these years Gable met classmates Adam Elizararraz, and Daniel Vargas. The 3 decided, that instead of going on the class mission trip, they would go to Sacramento, CA and record an EP.
After raising an astonishing $1000, they recorded 4 songs in a studio attached to a church that a friend worked at. After finishing the songs, in fall 2018 they released their Debut EP “The Redding EP”, under the name “Gable Price and Friends”.
Fast forward to spring 2019: The 3 piece band asks their then mentor: David Funk to track synths on their upcoming single “Magnetic Love”. In their opinion, they had made something so good that it could only be fully ingested in a “Live” setting. The now 4 piece invited their friend Cameron Pablo to join them for their first concert, in the back yard of a friends house. Gable eventually moved his van to this exact back yard and lived there for a year. That home is the muse behind the 2020 Gable Price and Friends song “Midway Drive”
After the release of GP&F’s debut full length album “Fractioned Heart” and following Gable’s graduation from his final year of ministry school, Gable began the journey of becoming a professional songwriter
Since then, Gable has quit his job as a Glass Daddy, met the love of his life, got married, and is writing and performing for a living.
Gable and his band is signed to Capitol Records CMG, and are preparing to tour their new album “The Consequence of Being Alive”
