New Album - Elevation Worship - Here As In Heaven
Elevation Worship is the worship team of Elevation Church, based out of Charlotte, NC. Led by Pastor Steven Furtick, the church was formed in 2006 with a vision to see people far from God raised to life in Christ. Over the past ten years, Elevation has launched multiple locations in North Carolina and beyond.
“We’re not waiting on a move of God.
We are a move of God.”
“I remember when Ps Steven Furtick first cast the vision for us to record a worship album each year with songs that served as spiritual markers for our church. Anthems that would be a testimony of the Lord’s faithfulness and help our church respond to what God was teaching us.
Chris Brown, Mack Brock and I were eager and excited to get to work, until we quickly realized that we had no idea how to actually write a worship song. But we went to the studio anyway, and in 2008 we had our first attempt at an album - We Are Alive. It was the beginning of a journey that continues this Friday as we release #HereAsInHeaven.
Thankfully the team is much larger now and the songs are better, but one thing that hasn’t changed is how incredibly special and rewarding it is to see our church draw close to the Lord through these songs. I love that they can become the soundtrack for a season - both in our church and in someone’s life, and I can’t wait to see the new songs that will mark the new seasons ahead.”
The latest collection of songs from Elevation Worship’s new album, Here As In Heaven, are declarations of faith that announce the Kingdom of God is here among us. This new live album, recorded in July of 2015 in front of a maximum-capacity crowd at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, NC, inspires us to worship with a new sense of expectation and purpose; to let our lives be the evidence of God’s presence on earth. Filled with stirring anthems and shouts of praise, Here As In Heaven is a must-have soundtrack celebrating God’s presence among us, His church, in every moment and every situation; here as in heaven.
“I honestly do not know or understand why I’ve had the opportunity to serve this church and with these people. Just trying to stay grateful for it always. Today is another marker of God’s grace and his faithfulness. Hope these songs minister to you as much as they have to me.”
Interesting fact:
The core leadership team at Elevation Church have remained the same over the last ten years, since the church was established in Feb 2006.
