Church Volume One by Jesus Culture

Church Volume One is the 2020 live album from Jesus Culture, the worship collective that grew out of a church in Redding, California. It is the first of a two part set captured with a congregation in the room. The theme is plain in the title: songs meant for a gathered church to sing together, built around revival and trust.

Why listen?

The sound is full and warm, led by familiar voices such as Kim Walker-Smith and Chris McClarney. The production keeps the live feel without losing clarity, so you hear the crowd as part of the music. The lyrics return again and again to God's nearness, to revival, and to facing fear without flinching. There is a clear arc from longing to release across the set. It is worship made to be sung, not just heard.

Favourite song: I Will Not Fear

A steady, resolute song that turns dread into a settled trust. The room leans into it, and the refrain holds firm.

All praise be to You, God
The anchor for my soul
All praise be to You, God
You never let me go
I will not fear
I will not fear

The way the voices gather behind that line feels like cresting a ridge in poor weather and finding the path still under your feet. The song answers worry with a plain choice to keep walking. That quiet resolve is what has stayed with me.

Key takeaway

Church Volume One is a generous live worship record about trust and revival. A good listen for anyone who likes to sing along.
