Steffany Gretzinger

Steffany Gretzinger has focused chiefly on leading worship, yet her commanding vocals and praise-and-worship compositions have appeared across multiple Bethel Music releases. In 2014 she issued her first solo project, The Undoing, an intimate collection of worship material presented in minimal arrangements that climbed into the Billboard 200’s upper twenty. Later solo outings Blackout and Forever Amen each ascended to the summit of the Christian Albums chart. On 2021’s Faith of My Father she honored her pastor father, while her fifth album-length statement, The Narrow Way, arrived in 2023.

Bethel Music functions less as a conventional ensemble than as a praise-and-worship collective anchored at Bethel Church in Redding, California, and shaped by Bill Johnson’s ministry. Functioning simultaneously as congregation, publishing entity, and record label, the organization has provided a platform for vocalists, ensembles, instrumentalists, and writers that include Gretzinger alongside Brian & Jenn Johnson, Jeremy Riddle, and numerous additional contributors. Among its documented gatherings are 2012’s The Loft Sessions, captured across multiple evenings inside a renovated loft space, and 2013’s Tides, both of which featured extensive participation from Gretzinger.

Her debut solo album The Undoing surfaced in 2014 and registered at number 20 on the Billboard 200. Blackout followed in 2018 as her next independent effort, entering the same ranking at number 36. The 2020 release Forever Amen marked her third consecutive entry at number two on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums tally. Faith of My Father, issued in 2021 as a tribute to her late pastor father, presented a stirring sequence of worship pieces she had performed since childhood. In 2023 she delivered her candid and reflective fifth long-player The Narrow Way, shaped by close exchanges with family and friends.
