Elevation Worship is a contemporary worship music collective that originated from Elevation Church, a multisite church based in Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S., led by Pastor Steven Furtick. Formed in 2007, the collective is recognized for its passionate and impactful live worship albums, which aim to provide songs for the local church and foster a personal encounter with Jesus. They have become a globally recognized force in Christian music, known for producing chart-topping hits and consistently creating an atmosphere of worship through their music.
Elevation Worship initially signed with Essential Records, a label distributed by Sony Music, for their early major releases. Since 2016, they have primarily released their albums under their own label, Elevation Worship Records, which is associated with Provident Distribution and Provident Entertainment. Their extensive discography includes numerous critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums such as “Here As In Heaven,” “Graves Into Gardens,” “Old Church Basement” (with Maverick City Music), and “When Wind Meets Fire.” They have garnered multiple Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and Dove Awards, and their songs are widely sung in churches across the world.
