Mainstream Worship Presents "Dwelling Place:" A Powerful Collection of Presence and Praise

Mainstream Worship is a dynamic worship movement rooted in Faith Assembly of God in Orlando, FL, focused on creating music that invites people into the presence of God. Their new album, Dwelling Place (releasing September 19, 2025, on DREAM Worship), continues their mission to connect deeply with the emerging generation while inspiring hearts across all ages. With authentic, Spirit-led worship, they bridge generations and point listeners to the hope found in Jesus.

Driven by a passion for the local church, Mainstream Worship leads encounters with Jesus that are real and personal-whether in a crowded worship space or quiet moments alone. Their sound is honest, expectant, and centered on Jesus, reflecting a heart committed to seeing lives transformed through worship. 

Q: Dwelling Place is your upcoming release. What does the title mean to you, and how does it reflect the heart behind this album?

The title Dwelling Place comes from Psalm 84:1-4, which talks about the joy and longing found in being close to God's presence. For us, that really became the heartbeat of the album, staying near to God no matter what season you're in. It's more than just a title; it's a reminder that His presence is our home and our safe place. Every song on the album connects back to that desire to remain with Him. 

Q: Mainstream Worship is rooted in Faith Assembly of God in Orlando. How has being part of a local church shaped the music you write and the way you lead worship?

Our church means everything to us. It's the place where a lot of us grew up, where we've led, and where we've seen God move week after week. Our writing always starts with our church in mind. We ask ourselves, "What does the church need to hear right now?" or "What does our congregation want to say to God?" That mindset helps to keep us grounded in the culture of our church. 

Q: Your mission is to create music that resonates with the emerging generation while bridging hearts across all ages. How did you approach songwriting and production to achieve that balance?

We always want to make sure that first and foremost, the lyrics we write have their roots traced back to the Bible in a clear and understandable way. We want our songs to help new believers grow in truth and long-time believers declare their faith with confidence. This being our first studio album gave us a lot of freedom to explore new sounds and textures. We wanted the production to be creative and fresh but still feel accessible to everyone. 

Q: The focus tracks, "Near," "Invitation," and "Fresh Start," each carry powerful themes. Can you share the stories or inspirations behind these songs?

"Near" came from a place of wanting to express deep closeness with God. Not just acknowledging His presence, but wanting to stay right there with Him. "Invitation" serves as an "invitation" for the Holy Spirit to meet with us and pour His spirit over us. In this song we really explore the different ways the Bible teaches that the Spirit meets with us.

"Fresh Start" celebrates the new life we have in Christ. It's bold and full of energy, declaring that His mercy really does make all things new. Each song captures a different part of what it means to dwell with God. 

Q: Worship music is constantly evolving. Where do you see Mainstream Worship's sound fitting into the current landscape, and what do you hope listeners take away from Dwelling Place?

We're always listening, learning, and growing, but at the end of the day, our sound is shaped by our church and by the message we feel God has given us. We're not chasing trends, but we are committed to being excellent and intentional in what we create. We hope Dwelling Place gives people songs they can sing in their rooms, in their cars, and in their churches. More than anything, we want people to know that God wants to be near. 

Q: Many listeners encounter worship music in deeply personal ways outside of a church setting. How do you hope Dwelling Place ministers to people in their everyday lives? 

We hope this album meets people exactly where they are. Whether someone is walking through loss, joy, doubt, or renewal, we believe God's presence is not only with them but inviting them closer. These songs are prayers, declarations, and reminders that God isn't far off. He is near, and everything we need can be found in Him.
