Melissa Helser
Melissa Helser, and her husband, Jonathan, love the global Church and are passionate about leading worship around the world. They have been writing and recording music for fourteen years—their first album, The Awakening, was released in 2005. Since then, the Helsers have released eight albums, including their most recent project, The Land I’m Livin’ In, in partnership with the Bethel Music Collective.
Jonathan and Melissa joined the Bethel Music in 2014 and have been featured on various Bethel Music albums such as VICTORY (“Raise A Hallelujah”), We Will Not Be Shaken (“No Longer Slaves”), and Starlight (“Catch the Wind”). They enjoy traveling internationally where they’ve consistently participated in events like Bethel Tours, David’s Tent, and Big Church Day Out. Jonathan and Melissa long to see a generation encounter the love of God. Their music reflects their desire for the Earth to look just like Heaven.
Jonathan and Melissa live in Sophia, North Carolina with their two children. They are the founders of the Cageless Birds collective, a community of artisans based in Sophia. The Cageless Birds craft songs, art, and handmade goods that carry the Gospel message through their excellence and beauty.
Jonathan and Melissa give the majority of their year to discipleship. They lead their discipleship school, The 18 Inch Journey, and host retreats and camps throughout the year. One of their strongest desires is to see the children of God walking in the fullness of their identities. They love empowering people to cultivate sustainable friendship with the Holy Spirit that will continue to serve them their whole lives.
