Elevation Worship

Love it thank you for coming me and friend was blessed by the presence of God I wished we could worship and praise God all night. See you next time may the Lord continue to bless the entire elevation Family

Worshiping with Elevation Worship was an awesome experience!!! They are an amazing group and God used them in a mighty way.

It was an amazing night of worship under one roof praise God I am speechless with God and the word that Steve Furtick

It was an amazing night of worship with the band and Pastor Steve. I love the music and Pastor Steve's sermon "I'm not Stuck Unless I Stop" was inspiring and enlightening. I highly recommend this concert!

So much more than a concert! Such a good solid band. It rates way up there!

Awesome and very uplifting worship service with the most spirit filled pastor and worship team I’ve ever seen live! Truly a Godsend!

It has to be my favorite concert, period. The energy and the atmosphere were so welcoming, but also so hype. There was never a dull moment. I also got to be there with my parents and best friend and gotta say, having a best friend who loves Jesus as much as you do in high school makes the experience 10 times better. 10/10 would recommend

Elevation Worship: 7/20/23 “Thursday evening was slated to be my first ever all Contemporary Worship concert and I was determined to be completely objective and transparent about my experience from the get go. The event just happened to take place in the middle of a three-night run beginning with Boy George in Charlotte and ending with Suzy Bogguss (traditional country) in Gainesville. I penciled the late addition into my concert calendar thanks to a little coaxing from a $22 lower bowl ticket special. Everyone knows I’m an all genre concert attender and all I’ve ever heard are good things from anyone who has attended an Elevation show. It’s not that I’ve not seen Christian artists or individual worship leaders LIVE, I have —think Hosanna’s Paul Baloche, Bob Fitts, Darrell Evans… (in fact I’ve even met all three) it’s just the opportunity never presented itself for a large scale Hillsong or Bethel or Vineyard or Elevation experience. The evening advertised as ‘Elevation Nights’ would feature a word from Pastor Furtick and I wasn’t sure how that’d go, my infatuation with large scale preachers and evangelists sailed some long time ago. Twenty-four times through the Bible will do that to you, but on to the show! My seats were in section 115 directly center on the lower bowl side, perfect to not have to stand the entire evening and enjoy a good view of the stage. The first thing I noted was the pre-show music playing on the main sound system —it was all secular. There was The Cars ‘Let The Good Times Roll’ then The Who’s ‘Baba O’Riley’ (it’s only teenage wasteland, they're all wasted)! The stage itself was set in all orange lighting while smoke hovered amidst the lower portions of the arena. There were six rows of rectangular lights to shine outward and illuminate the audience, four of which were rigged above the video screens, one below and one on the stage floor. Pivoting spotlights were positioned between each rectangular light along with two towers side stage left and right and four spotlights on the stage floor each side giving the appearance of a complete ‘surround-sight’. The video screens were five in number, the three highest in the center with the center most top reserved for song lyrics to be displayed. At 7 p.m. Elevation Rhythm (the teams youth coalition of members) took the stage with Joe Barnes in the lead for a 5-7 song (with medleys included) quick set. ‘Greenville are you ready to party with us tonight?’ The nine member team marched through their newest 2023’s ‘Praises’ and 2019’s ‘Echo’ complete with a shower of streamers then confetti. Mixed into the medleys were ‘Great Are You Lord’ and ‘My Testimony’. The team was edgy and the music often played in a world rhythm beat. The course of the evening’s line up would be include speaker breaks i.e. music/speaker/music/speaker/music/speaker/music with a total of a two hours/20 selection song-time and a near full 45 minute Word from Pastor Furtick. Elevation Worship themselves (a ten member team) played next in two sets. Holly Furtick bridged the two together with a word of welcome. At 8:35 the first set commenced with a countdown clock, bright flashes of orange light, and a crescendoing drum beat culminating in a cry out, ‘Greenville do you see what I see?’ The majorly filled arena responded in reply with a shout as the team performed their 2022 ‘What I See’ in a kaleidoscope of color on the video screens. ‘Greenville can we get a little crazy about our praise tonight?’ signaled the start of the song ’Praise’. There was something for everyone, the band drawing mostly newer material from their 2007-2023 catalogue. There was ‘LION’, a #2 in 2016 ‘O Come To The Altar’ with stained glass window images portrayed on the screens, ‘Jireh’, and ‘More Than Able’ with enlarged video wording taking up the entire screens ‘ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE’. The final song, 2021’s Worship Song Of The Year ‘Graves Into Gardens’ set the stage for Pastor Steven to take the stage, not a soul to be found seated with nearly all hands lifted high in surrender. In fact with most folk standing the entire evening the speaker breaks became an oasis of relief to the more seasoned folks such as myself. ‘This is where me and Holly started our ministry together’ Furtick informed us to the delight of the South Carolina audience. The word he would bring forth ‘The God Of Hezekiah’ proved both timely and challenging. ‘I feel like preaching on a Thursday in Greenville, I feel like turning this concert into a revival service!’ ‘I’ve been worship stalking you all night. I like to watch people worship and make up stories in my head about what they’re going through.’ In the Biblical narrative, Israel’s enemy had come against God’s people through intimidation. ‘Everybody in this room tonight has your own Sennacherib’ Furtick assured us. ‘Some of us we spread everything on every other social media sight but we don’t take it to God in prayer, and that’s part of why we’re anxious and that’s part of why we’re depressed.’ The story didn’t end there, God turned what the enemy meant for evil into a victory for His people and the same hope extends to us via the Good News. The music didn’t end there either, the team saved the best for last taking the stage for a final three song set but only after Pastor and family pronounced the blessing over us. The team indeed saved the best for last: ‘The Blessing’ 2020’s #2 song, ‘Do It Again’, and 2021’s #1 ‘RATTLE’! An individual would be hard pressed to exit Bon Secours on this evening discouraged, downcast, or downtrodden after that. Ironically the personal highlight of the evening for me was not the music but it was something Pastor said. Steven pointed yonder to section 103 in pure joy, ‘Y’all give it up for my friend Pastor Perry Noble in the house!’ With a rousing cheer from the crowd the story of Hezekiah and Sennacherib suddenly became alive in real time. The naysayers who have not ceased to stalk Pastor Perry online suddenly became the intimidated minority and all Greenville cheered for a true to life comeback story! Overwhelmed with the joy of the Lord I suddenly felt invincible to the Enemy experiencing a living hope that The Best Is Yet To Come!” Review and photo by DAve (Concert #801)

We experienced an amazing night of Praise and Worship with Elevation! I was in “Church” with 9000 other followers of Christ. It was a powerful !

Worth the wait! I did not sit down for the show. If you plan on getting merchandise, I suggest getting there as soon as doors open! Those lines had a wait by 6:30. Loved the interaction booths pre concert!

Great night of worship and excellent message by Pastor Steve! Was such a blessing to be there and eorship the Lord!

So so so powerful.. Worshiping Jesus with 17,0000 people.. Cannot wait to experience this again. Can't say enough. I'd go back tomorrow and see them again!

Tim Somers said we were louder than Grand Rapids 🤷‍♀️🤣🙌 amazing 👏 can't wait to see y'all live, again.

I couldn’t have enjoyed the show more!! My only complaint was that Elevation didn’t have as much stage time as the other 2 but still an incredible show nonetheless!! Can’t wait to see them again!!

ELEVATION WORSHIP WAS AWESOME !! JUST AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️ I loved every minute of it, and so look forward to seeing them in December at the PASSION CONCERT 😍

Best worship concert I have ever attended. The message was so strong and God’s presence was felt by all!

I had a great time worshipping! Every song spoke to me in different ways. My favorite part of the whole night was when we went into “I Exalt Thee”. It was such a beautiful moment.

fantastic! Elevation is my favorite Christian band period. However, was sad they did not play Fullness and Grace So Glorious which are my two very top favorite. I cried, rejoiced, worship. But when they said goodnight my heart broke. Need to see them again and want to hear my favorites live!!!

Elevation worship is definitely worshipers, the entire group did a great job ushering in Gods presence. Awesome time in the Lord! Cold, but will worth it! " Freezing for Jesus!"

One of the best worship experiences I have had. I'm thankful that they actually did this concert, their ministry has God oriented goals and nothing more than Excellence through Christ.
