Ben Fielding & Reuben Morgan Address Hillsong Departure and New Music Journey

Ben Fielding & Reuben Morgan Address Hillsong Departure and New Music Journey. Former Hillsong Worship leaders Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan have officially clarified questions surrounding their current journey in music and ministry. The two iconic songwriters, who penned many of the anthems that defined modern worship, revealed that they have not been part of Hillsong for several years.

In a heartfelt message, they reflected on the transition: “While in many ways the closing of that chapter was heartbreaking & for reasons outside of our control – our hearts are also full of gratitude for the deep friendships, the incredible songs & the years of seeing God do more with our music than we ever thought was possible.”

Despite moving on, their passion for writing songs that inspire worship remains stronger than ever. Looking ahead, their music will be released under CXMMXNS, a new worship initiative that marks a fresh chapter. They emphasised that the collaborations fans grew to love during their Hillsong era will continue, but under this new banner.

Fielding and Morgan also encouraged fans to support fellow worship leaders and songwriters now releasing music independently, including Benjamin William Hastings, Taya, Aodhan King, Brooke Ligertwood, AMXN Radio (Joel), Matt Crocker, Hannah Hobbs, and others.

The Future of Hillsong Worship Remains Uncertain

In a follow-up post, the duo addressed another lingering question from fans: “When will Hillsong Worship be back?” Their answer made it clear that, while they respect the legacy, they are no longer part of its future.

“Like many of our friends, we are no longer involved, so whatever happens from here will look quite different,” they explained. Hillsong Worship’s influence, from Geoff Bullock to Darlene Zschech, UNITED, and beyond, was a cornerstone of modern Christian music. But for Fielding and Morgan, the focus now is on the exciting wave of Australian songwriters carrying the torch, writing songs that serve churches locally and globally.

They urged worshippers to continue following and supporting the people they loved from Hillsong Worship, many of whom are already releasing powerful music under their own names.

Closing on a hopeful note, they declared: “It’s a new day, & we dare to believe it might even be more fruitful.”
