Jesus Culture One-Night Passes

Worship

Jesus Culture Band

The Jesus Culture band was formed organically through the momentum of a movement whose focus is to equip a generation to be influencers of society. It's hard to separate the band from the movement, as they really are joined together with one focus: to bring people into an encounter with God's love through worship and to disciple them to transform society. The Jesus Culture band is fronted by Kim Walker-Smith and Chris Quilala with Ian McIntosh playing keys, Jeffrey Kunde as the lead guitarist, Brandon Aaronson as the bassist, and Josh Fisher as the drummer. Each member of the band knows the weight of the call God on their lives and they live devoted to a lifestyle of worship, hoping that their music can help lead all those who hear it into an experience of His presence that won't leave them the same.

Letter from Banning

Last year, God called us to Chicago to empower and release a generation that would bring transformation to our nation and the rest of the world. During this event, we experienced three days of passionate worship, powerful teaching and amazing ministry. On the final night, we stood in awe, as fourteen thousand fully engaged followers of Jesus, worshiped the Lord for almost twenty minutes. The ongoing testimonies from these participants and the tens of thousands who watched online, confirmed to us that God’s presence and power was released that day in a phenomenal way to mark a generation.

This Year, God is taking things to a new level and calling us to gather again in two of the most influential cities in the world: New York and Los Angeles.

 Why New York?

New York is the economic capital of the world, directly impacting the rest of the planet. This is a key reason why the United Nations is located in this city, why Al Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center on 9/11, and why the ‘Occupy Movement’ focused its protests on Wall Street. People around the world recognize the significance of NY – and so do we.

In this critical hour, it is time for the people of God to respond with Heaven’s heart and make a difference. We are calling believers from all over the nation to join us as we gather, and in turn, impact the world. 

 Why Los Angeles?

Los Angeles is generally considered the cultural capital of the Western world. This region is overflowing with creativity and has been at the cutting edge of fashion, music and movies for many decades. Hollywood continually produces images and sounds that shape the beliefs and behavior of people worldwide, sometimes for good but often in ways that are not so positive. The international community recognizes the access and leverage of this city to shape culture – and so do we.

We believe God wants to pour His love and healing through these channels to bless our planet. This is why we are inviting believers from all over the world to join us as we release the presence and power of God, and as a result, influence the world.
