About Zealand Worship

Led by Phil Joel, best known for his long-standing role as bass player and vocalist for the multi-platinum selling band Newsboys, Zealand Worship has been faithfully traversing a road that has been as unscripted and unexpected as it has been ordained. When Joel left Newsboys after 13 years, it wasn't long before ministry opportunities began to emerge throughout the United States, New Zealand, Australia and China. Without even realizing it, Joel's perspective began to shift, opening his eyes to a new understanding about worship and his role in it. Joel and fellow musicians...have been operating “off the grid,” ministering where they have been invited, under the radar in a season of preparation for the next chapter, which is aptly titled Zealand Worship. Zealand Worship signed with Word Worship, a division of Word Entertainment, in May 2015. On Dec. 13th, 2017 the band announced their first full-length project Liberated to be released on February 9, 2018.[1]
