Originally formed at Redding, California’s Bethel Church, Jesus Culture is an internationally operating, Christian revivalist youth outreach ministry that utilizes the power of music to spread its message. Led by youth worship leader and pastor Kim Walker-Smith, the Jesus Culture Band, which releases albums through the ministry’s own record label, Jesus Culture Music, has issued nearly annual live praise & worship albums, including Everything (2006), We Cry Out (2007), Your Love Never Fails (2008), Come Away (2010), Emerging Voices (2012). With 2014’s Unstoppable Love, they showcased the duo of singers Chris Quilala and Kim Walker-Smith. In 2015, Quilala and Walker-Smith were featured once again on This Is Jesus Culture, a collection drawn from the group’s album that was their first release under a new recording contract with Sparrow Records, a spiritual imprint of EMI Records. The collective’s follow-up Let It Echo debuted at number one on the Christian/Gospel chart, and marked the point where Jesus Culture releases had sold over one million copies worldwide (including JC albums as well as frequent solo efforts by members Walker-Smith and Quilala, plus Kristene DiMarco, Bryan & Katie Torwalt, Chris McClarney, Justin Jarvis, and Derek Johnson. ~ James Christopher Monger
