Elevation Church just added a new name to its worship family. ELEVATION LIVING ROOM, the new worship collective from the Charlotte, North Carolina, church’s high school ministry, YTH, released their debut single, “Bulls & Goats,” on Oct. 23, 2026, through Elevation Worship Records.
The high-octane anthem, which comes out of the same Church as songs like "Goodbye Yesterday" and "Washed," builds its entire message on a single verse. Hebrews 10:4 (NLT) states plainly, “For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.” For centuries, priests offered animal sacrifices again and again, and none of them could finish the job. “Bulls & Goats” celebrates the One who did, turning a sobering piece of theology into a heart-pumping declaration that Jesus’ blood alone was enough.
"There's no more bulls and goats
That's what the Lamb of God was for
We enter in 'cause the veil was torn
When His blood was poured
And He saved my soul!"

The collective says the song began as a "rowdy" idea. While plenty of worship songs celebrate the blood of Jesus, this one zeroes in on why it had to be His. In the band’s own words on its official website, the song declares that “no one else, nothing else, could do what Jesus did.”
Unlike a band assembled for the stage, ELEVATION LIVING ROOM grew up in a living room of sorts. It started as a Sunday night Bible study at Elevation Church and has since become the weekly gathering place for the church’s high schoolers. Graham Furtick, son of Pastor Steven Furtick, still teaches the Sunday night study and leads the collective alongside worship leader Daniel Peña. Students aren’t just coming to watch. They help shape the songs, which are written out of what God is doing in that room and then sung back by the same teenagers who helped inspire them.

If that origin story sounds familiar, it should. Elevation Rhythm took a similar road in 2019, launching as a youth worship team with its first singles, “Everything Everything” and “Never Walk Away.” Since then, Rhythm has grown into a touring powerhouse, scoring a No. 1 at Christian radio with “PRAISES (remix)” featuring Forrest Frank and joining Elevation Worship on arena stages. Elevation Worship, meanwhile, released its latest album, “So Be It,” on Feb. 20, 2026. Now ELEVATION LIVING ROOM steps into the lineup as the church’s newest voice, with its roots planted firmly in the student ministry.
The collective plans to keep writing music shaped by the students who show up each week. Want to hear where it all begins? “Bulls & Goats” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
