The House of Worship film shares a bold revival of the anthems that have shaped modern worship across the world. Through cinematic storytelling and intimate interviews, the film explores the origins and impact of these songs, revealing how they have shaped the hearts of worship leaders, songwriters and congregations across generations and nations.

Executive produced by four-time GRAMMY® and 45-time Dove Awards-winner Michael W. Smith and Dove Award-winning, RIAA Gold®-selling Australian worship pioneer Darlene Zschech, songs for the film and companion 13-song album were recorded in-the-round at World Wide Stages (Spring Hill, TN). All 25 artists collaborated to reimagine classics, share behind-the-scenes stories and offer a fresh and inspiring musical expression that bridges generations and celebrates the enduring power of worship music.

“What drew me to House of Worship was the opportunity to be a part of something that unites generations through songs that have shaped the Church,” says Michael W. Smith. “These songs have truly been anthems of worship for believers around the world, decade after decade. And to sing them with so many leaders in different seasons of ministry, all joined in worship, was something I will never forget!”

“I know that this will be a great blessing to your community of faith as together we gather around the name of Jesus,” says Zschech. “Every song is a prayer rising from sons and daughters crying out to God together.”

“World Vision is thrilled to sponsor this once-in-a-lifetime project that will both unite and bless churchgoers around the world,” says Edgar Sandoval Sr., President / CEO of World Vision. “We have partnered with Christian music artists for over 30 years to bring more help to vulnerable children in Jesus’ name.”
