LOS ANGELES (May 2, 2025) – Bethel Music is excited to announce the addition of worship leader and songwriter Hannah Waters to its distinguished collective. As a part of Bethel Music’s ever-expanding community of artists, Waters joins a lineup that includes Brian and Jenn Johnson, Josh Baldwin, Kristene DiMarco, Zahriya Zachary, David Funk, John Wilds, and many more who have shaped the global worship landscape through their powerful music. Check Hannah out HERE.

Originally from the small town of Bradford in northern England, Waters now calls Redding, CA, home, where she serves as a worship leader at Bethel Church. After moving to the U.S. in 2016 to attend Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM), Hannah’s calling as a worship leader deepened, and she began leading worship at Bethel Church, while also becoming the worship pastor for BSSM’s first-year program.

Says Waters, “My heart burns for Jesus and His bride! For years I’ve called Bethel Church home – a place where I’ve grown deeply in worship, faith, and friendship with God. Becoming part of the Bethel Music collective feels like a beautiful extension of what God has already been doing in my life. Worship has always been the heartbeat of my walk with Jesus, and having the honour of sharing that passion, declaring His goodness and presence through song is so humbling for me. I’m so expectant for what’s ahead and honored to run with a team so devoted to lifting up the name of Jesus so the world will know, He is the only way!”

“We couldn't be more excited to officially bring Hannah Waters onto the Bethel Music team,” adds Jenn Johnson, Co-Founder of Bethel Music. “She is so incredible and carries the heart of Jesus in our culture so joyfully and beautifully.”

As part of her partnership with Bethel Music, Waters is already working on new music slated to release later this year and preparing for upcoming worship events. Follow Waters on IG @hannahinthewaters.
