In
the summer of 1999, the youth group led by Banning Liebscher
at Bethel Church in Redding, California, launched the
first Jesus Culture conference. The heart of these gatherings
was to serve other churches and lead young people to
experience the radical love of God. At each conference
there was a strong presence of the Lord, and the youth
and young adults were going back to their homes, schools,
work places and churches, completely impassioned and
transformed.
It soon became very clear that worship was to be a significant
part of the movement. Kim Walker-Smith, Chris Quilala
and Melissa How were worship leaders at our local youth
group, and the Lord began to use them to bring an entire
generation into whole-hearted worship.
Jesus Culture Music exists to ignite revival in the
nations of the earth. Their heart is to compel the Body
of Christ to radically abandon itself to a lifestyle
of worship, motivated by a passion to see God receive
the glory that is due His name. They long for Jesus
to be exalted in the nations and for His manifest presence
to invade this world. Although they aspire for people
to sing great worship songs, they are primarily committed
to see them come into His presence through worship and
to encounter His extravagant love and raw power.
