History and Sound

Bethel Music grew out of the music ministry of Bethel Church in Redding, California.

Brian and Jenn Johnson helped shape the collective, whose recordings feature various worship leaders. Jenn Johnson’s distinctive voice can be heard in “Goodness of God,” while “No Longer Slaves” is performed by Jonathan David and Melissa Helser. These songs show how, in Bethel Music recordings, personal prayer gradually becomes the singing of the entire room. “Raise a Hallelujah” is another example of this development.

Albums and Recordings

The albums help trace how the group’s sound evolved. “No Longer Slaves,” in which two lead voices alternate and then merge with the communal singing, was released on “We Will Not Be Shaken.” “Raise a Hallelujah” and “Goodness of God” were released on “Victory.” These songs have different tempos and moods: the first is built around insistent repetition, while the second leaves more space for a vocal phrase and a personal story.
