History and Sound

Jesus Culture began with a youth conference that Banning Liebscher’s team held in 1999 at Bethel Church in Redding.

Songs from these meetings formed the basis of the first recording, “Everything.” Over time, the movement expanded beyond Redding and opened a church in Sacramento. The history of the worship team can be heard through its live recordings: Chris Quilala leads “Your Love Never Fails,” Kim Walker-Smith sings “How He Loves,” and “Rooftops” is performed by Kim Walker-Smith.

The History of Jesus Culture

Albums and Recordings

In early recordings such as “Your Love Never Fails” and “Come Away,” it is clear how much space the group leaves between verses and choruses. On “Let It Echo,” the song “In the River” shows another side of the same live style: the rhythm quickly leads into the chorus, while Kim Walker-Smith’s voice holds the audience’s attention. Comparing these albums helps reveal how the sound changed as the group moved from conferences to recordings by a new church community.
