The Maranatha Singers

The Maranatha! Singers are the in-house choir and worship ensemble for the Christian record label Maranatha! Music, a ministry of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California. Founded in 1971, the group functions as a rotating collective of musicians rather than a fixed band, and they are closely associated with the "Jesus Music" movement and the development of contemporary worship music.

The ensemble is best known for the long-running Praise series, which began in 1974 with Praise 1: The Praise Album. Their recordings often feature live collaborations with various worship leaders and musicians connected to the Calvary Chapel movement. The group's catalog includes well-known songs such as "As We Gather," "He Knows My Name," "Lord I Lift Your Name On High," "In Moments Like These," "No Higher Calling," and "It Is Your Love."

Over the years, the Maranatha! Singers have released a wide variety of worship recordings, including acoustic, instrumental, and a cappella projects. Their music has been used to facilitate congregational worship in churches globally. A later entry in their extensive series is Praise 20: Who Is Like the Lord, released in 1999.
