Vertical Worship is a group of worship leaders and songwriters from Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicagoland with a heart to lead people in passionate, Christ-centered worship.

Formerly known as Vertical Church Band, the group began in 2012 with Live Worship from Vertical Church and went on to release four albums that landed in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart. Songs like “Yes I Will,” “Open Up the Heavens,” “Spirit of the Living God,” and “Exalted Over All” have encouraged churches all over the world to lift their eyes to Jesus.

The album Church Songs was named one of Worship Leader’s Best Albums of 2015, and “Spirit of the Living God” was listed among the year’s top worship songs. In 2018, “Yes I Will” was certified Gold and received a Dove Award nomination for Worship Song of the Year.

After taking time to rest, reflect, and seek the Lord, we’re stepping back in with renewed passion, fresh songs, and the same calling: to exalt the name of Jesus. Some faces are new, others familiar—but the mission remains the same.

We’re here to help people connect with God through worship that’s rooted in Scripture, rich in truth, and full of hope. We’re so glad to be back—and we can’t wait to worship with you again.
