In partnership with Soul Survivor, the new ministry will be led by renowned worship leader Tim Hughes.

Hughes, who has previously led worship at many events in the UK and around the world such as SoulintheCity, Soul Survivor, Passion for Your Name and Hillsongs conference, comments: “There is an urgent need to train and resource worship leaders and musicians to grow in their giftings. My hope is that Worship Central will be a place where this can happen.”
