Monuments

Gateway Worship is a popular CCM worship band based out of the Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas. Since the early 2000s, the influential group has produced numerous live and studio albums, hitting a career peak with their Christian chart-topping 2015 album Walls. Their success continued throughout the remainder of the decade with releases like Monuments and Greater Than. In the 2020s, they have remained productive, delivering back-to-back live albums in 2023, along with 2024's more intimate Chapel Sessions.

Gateway is one the largest churches in North America and Gateway Worship have flourished since their 2003 debut album, Unsearchable. With their uplifting, pop-based sound and array of talented vocalists and instrumentalists, Gateway Worship have released numerous live and studio albums, and many of their songs have become worship standards at churches around the world. They have recorded for several different labels including Integrity, In:Ciite Media, and EMI, and in 2013 celebrated their ten-year anniversary with the First Ten Years anthology. After signing with Columbia-affiliated Fair Trade Services in 2015, they released Walls, their sixth live album. It became their highest-charting album, reaching number one on the Christian albums chart and Top 40 on the main albums chart. Monuments, their first studio album as Gateway Worship, was released in 2017. That same year, the group launched an unplugged series called Acoustic Sessions and released Vol. 1. Recorded live at the church's primary Southlake venue, 2018's Greater Than, was another chart success for GATEWAY, who returned in 2020 with See You Move: Acoustic Session, Vol. 2.

Following a three year gap, the group enjoyed a prolific run, starting with a pair of 2023 live albums, Completely Abandoned and Crowns Down, released on their own in-house label. In 2024, along with an expanded version of Crowns Down, Gateway Worship issued the intimate acoustic Chapel Sessions, and a holiday-themed EP, Emmanuel. They kicked off the next year with a several singles including the rousing, nearly-11-minute live track "Known by You" and chart-topping songs such as "I Need You" and "Who Else (Live at Gateway Conference)." ~ Timothy Monger
