LOS ANGELES (March 21, 2025) – Bethel Music continues to expand its distinguished collective of worship leaders and songwriters with the addition of Garett and Kate Serban. Based in Franklin, Tenn., the couple joins a community of renowned artists such as Brian and Jenn Johnson, Josh Baldwin, Kristene DiMarco, Zahriya Zachary, David Funk, John Wilds, and others who have shaped the global worship landscape with their powerful music. In conjunction with this announcement, Bethel Music is releasing a special music video of the Serbans leading a powerful rendition of "How Great Thou Art (Live)," which you can watch here.

Garett, a Franklin native, and Kate, originally from Beaumont, Texas, were both raised in ministry as senior pastor’s kids, shaping their early lives and musical callings. Kate began leading worship at the age of eight, while Garett took the reins in his youth group during middle school. Their ministry paths ultimately converged in Estero, Fla., where they served as worship pastors at the same church, solidifying the foundation for their collaborative journey.

In March 2024, following a divine prompting, Garett and Kate premiered live “Worship Sessions” every Friday online to invite people to join them in moments of worship. “Worship Sessions” became a gathering designed around simple, unhurried worship with no agenda but to encounter the presence of God. What began as a step of obedience quickly grew into a movement, leading them to officially partner with Bethel Music in December 2024.

"We’ve always believed in the power of simplicity in worship—creating spaces where people can genuinely encounter Jesus,” says Garett and Kate Serban. “Joining Bethel Music is an incredible opportunity to expand that vision and continue writing and leading songs that invite others to step into authentic, life-changing encounters with God. We are so honored and humbled to be a part of this movement and full of expectation for what’s ahead.”

"We are SO excited to have the Serbans join the Bethel Music family!,” says Bethel Music’s Co-Founder and Worship Leader Jenn Johnson. “They are so special!!"

As part of their partnership with Bethel Music, the Serbans are already working on new music and preparing for upcoming worship events as part of their partnership with Bethel Music. Follow them on IG @garettandkate and YouTube.
