Redefining the worship of tomorrow
outside the walls of the church
1499 is a contemporary worship band led by recording artist, Sam Gatto. The band was created to bring worship outside the walls of the church because YOU and I are the one (1) for (4) whom Jesus left the Ninety-Nine (99).
Luke 15:1-7

Upcoming events
-
The Green Knoll Grill -5/31 and 6/21
Let’s Fill the Outdoor Patio this time!
This is more than a gig. It’s an open door into a secular space where people who may never step foot in a church will be hearing songs of redemption, surrender, and the relentless love of God.
When we show up, we’re not just supporting a band. We are sending a message to the community that hope belongs in every room.
So come out. Bring friends. Bring your small group. Bring the person you’ve been praying for but don’t know how to invite to church. Let’s show our community that God’s love is not confined to church walls!
We’ll see you there!

Lake Champion Youth Camp!
Each year, 1499 has the privilege of leading worship at Lake Champion Youth Camp, gathering nearly 1,500 students for an unforgettable encounter with God’s presence. This is a sacred and consistent invitation—one that has become a cornerstone of the band’s mission and calling.
For many students, this weekend marks a turning point: first-time worship, honest surrender, and seeds of faith planted deep in young hearts. The impact is immeasurable and eternal. We are deeply grateful to continue returning year after year, watching God move powerfully through music, testimony, and community among the next generation.

R-HUB Third Friday Worship Nights
On the third Friday of every month, 1499 leads extended worship at R-HUB—creating a safe, welcoming space for anyone longing for peace, healing, or a fresh start.
These nights are intentionally unhurried. We begin by sharing a full meal around the table, followed by extended worship where walls come down, burdens are laid aside, and God meets people exactly where they are. No pressure. No pretense. Just presence, community, and hope.
Doors are open to anyone—those in recovery, family members, friends, and anyone seeking rest for their soul. Come as you are. You belong here.
