New MultiTracks from Steven Curtis Chapman - Worship and Believe Thursday, March 3, 2016 Multi-platinum selling and five-time GRAMMY® award winning artist Steven Curtis Chapman has just released Worship and Believe, his first worship album in his three decade-long career. With this new release, Steven has created more vertically-focused worship songs spurred on by a soul awakening to worship music he experienced as he held fast to songs of the church through a season of loss. He shares, "I always loved singing worship songs and people responded when I’d sing them during shows. They were what I held on to so tightly when we lost our daughter Maria, but the timing was never right for me to make a full record of them.” Steven was inspired to begin this new project upon hearing of a 30-day church curriculum by Oak Hills Church pastor Randy Frazee entitled BELIEVE. “As Randy talked about how important it is for us as the Church to know what we believe and why," he comments, "I began to get excited thinking, ‘I want to write those songs, create those musical declarations that we as the church can sing together.’”
New from River Valley Worship - Edge of Heaven Thursday, March 3, 2016 Minneapolis-based worship band, River Valley Worship, has released their new worship album, Edge of Heaven. It was recorded live at River Valley Church's Shakopee Campus in September and contains 11 incredible new songs for the church. Lead Worship Pastor Ryan Williams shares, "This album carries with it a holy tension. As believers, we know that we're here with the presence of God and there's a fullness to that, but there's this tension because we know this isn't our home. It's just a glimpse. It's a glimpse of what's ahead of us on the other side of eternity."
