Hope Darst is a worship leader who desires to see people encounter the love of Jesus and be restored and set free in His presence. Whether it’s crafting songs for artful expression or corporate praise, Hope’s goal is the same – to worship God in everything.

While known for her power house vocals, it’s her ability to lead worship with authority and conviction that marks her the most. Her desire to write about the real journey of faith – the struggles, victories, mountaintops and valleys, has led her to pen songs like Peace Be Still, Promise Keeper, Come Alive, Love Like This, Set Free and more.

Unlike most, Hope Darst signed her first record deal in 2019 at the age of 39 and debuted her first album, Peace Be Still in 2020, with chart topping singles “Peace Be Still” and “Promise Keeper”. Much to her surprise, Hope’s debut album garnered her three 2021 GMA Dove Nominations for Worship Recorded Song of the Year, Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year and New Artist of the Year.

While Hope’s journey to become a songwriter and recording artist started later than most, Hope feels like she is just getting started and hopes to have the honor of releasing music for a long time.
