Red Rocks Worship is the music ministry of Red Rocks Church, a multi campus church founded in 2005 in Golden, Colorado, now based in Denver. Led by worship pastor Tyler Roberts, the collective writes songs it describes as faith anthems, with albums like Things of Heaven (2021), which reached the top 10 of the Billboard Christian charts.
Red Rocks Church started in 2005 in the run down back room of an abandoned amusement park in Golden, Colorado. The small community grew quickly, from a hundred people to several thousand, then expanded across multiple campuses in the Denver area, reaching as far as Texas and Brussels, Belgium. Like many growing churches, it developed its own music ministry to carry its services: Red Rocks Worship.
The collective released its first breakthrough album, Into the Light, in 2015, followed by a string of live albums, including spark. (2019) and Things of Heaven (2021), which reached the top 10 of the Billboard Christian charts. Under the guidance of worship pastor Tyler Roberts, several voices have taken turns on the mic, including Jake Piland, Chris Brown, and Kendra Benay, for songs the team describes as faith anthems, hymns of faith meant for everyday life.

How did Red Rocks Worship get started?
Red Rocks Church was founded in 2005 in the back room of an abandoned amusement park in Golden, Colorado. The community grew quickly, from a hundred people to several thousand, before expanding across multiple campuses around Denver, then as far as Texas and Brussels.
Out of this growth came the church's own music ministry, Red Rocks Worship, whose first breakthrough album, Into the Light, came out in 2015. The team grew alongside the church: new worship leaders joined from each campus, eventually forming the current collective, led by worship pastor Tyler Roberts.
What makes Red Rocks Worship distinctive?
The collective holds to a simple mission: to make Heaven more crowded. Their songs, which they describe as faith anthems, aim to remove religious barriers and speak directly to people who don't attend church. Several voices take turns writing and singing, including Tyler Roberts, Jake Piland, and Chris Brown, without any one of them lastingly dominating the project.
