What started as a simple idea has turned into one of the most talked-about worship projects of the year. House of Worship, produced by Michael W. Smith and Darlene Zschech, has gathered 25 influential worship leaders from around the world for one powerful purpose - to bring the global Church back to the heart of worship.

The project features a lineup that reads like a who's who of modern worship: Kari Jobe, CeCe Winans, Cody Carnes, Matt Redman, Israel Houghton, and Brian & Jenn Johnson, among others. Together, they've revisited the songs that defined a generation, from "The Heart of Worship" to "Shout to the Lord," alongside newer anthems like "The Blessing."

"This isn't just a concert or an album," Michael W. Smith shared. "It's a call - a reminder of what happens when God's people come together to lift His name."

Recorded live in Nashville, House of Worship captures moments of raw, Spirit-led worship that feel both nostalgic and new. The accompanying live album has already topped streaming charts since its January release, and clips from the sessions have been shared thousands of times online.

Fans around the world are now gearing up for the global streaming premiere on February 1, 2026, available via HouseOfWorship.live and GospelMusic.org.

It's more than music - it's a movement reminding believers everywhere that the power of worship can still unite the world.
