• Jesus Culture Band Jesus Culture Band began as the local youth group worship team led by Banning Liebscher when he was youth pastor at Bethel Church. During this time they began leading worship at Jesus Culture conferences both nationally and internationally and thus the Jesus Culture band was formed. The band consists of Kim Walker-Smith and Chris Quilala along with Jeffrey Kunde (lead guitar), Brandon Aaronson (bass), Ian McIntosh (keys) and Josh Fisher (drums). Together their desire is to see a generation abandon themselves to a lifestyle of worship, motivated by their passion for God. Although they aspire for people to sing great worship songs, they are primarily committed to seeing lives come into His presence through worship…. to encounter His extravagant love and raw power.
