Initially created as a web design firm oriented to serving the emerging needs of ministries, worship.com was birthed in 1996. In 1998 the web design arm of worship.com adopted the name WebMatters New Media, and the site at worship.com transitioned into a destination for Christian praise and worship, featuring not only music, but extensive links to articles related to both corporate and personal worship authored by leading pastors, theologians, and worship leaders. By the late 1990s the site had grown into a major portal connecting over one million visitors from more than 165 countries all over the world. During this growth period, WebMatters developed and implemented websites for a number of ministries and churches, including a series of groundbreaking sites for a new movement called Passion.
In 2000, a shared love between the leadership at Passion and WebMatters for vibrant, Biblical worship led to a joint venture that integrated worship.com into the Passion fold for a season. For the next five years worship.com reached out to Passion’s “268 generation,” serving college students and campus pastors with biblical teaching and Jesus-centered modern worship music from the Passion Band and many others.
Worship.com has since transitioned to a standalone entity in order to expand its scope to serve not only the campus community, but also those who have moved beyond college life and serve as a springboard for worship resources for emerging young worship leaders.
Worship.com’s founder Josh Riley has spoken and conducted seminars on various topics related to the worship lifestyle, including how social media sites serve as a barometer of our hearts. His wife Caroline directs hands-on, day-to-day operations. Together they have consulted for numerous ministries including Passion Conferences, North Point Community Church, First Baptist Church of Atlanta, sixsteps records, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, OneDay, Dash Student Leadership, Chi Alpha Student Ministries, Tony Nolan, Youth Ministry Resources, Lanny Donoho, Christian Stewardship Network, and others. Also experienced speakers and published authors, they are longtime active members of Perimeter Church in Atlanta where 
they have been involved in various ministries teaching from both the stage and small group environment in a variety of ministries from children’s church to high school. They previously were engaged with a program called Intentional Living through which they helped young adults identify and pursue their God-given purpose, vocation and calling in life. They live in north Georgia in the Atlanta area and have two children (17 and 20) who are worship leaders with Graham Riley Music.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. — Romans 12:1-2 ESV
