The Reverend Tim Hughes (born 23 July 1978) is a British worship leader and singer-songwriter. Formerly the Director of Worship at Holy Trinity Brompton, a large Anglican church in central London, he has since been ordained as a minister in the Church of England and appointed Vicar of St Luke's, Gas Street Birmingham. He leads Worship Central, an international worship training and resource centre.
Hughes, the son of an Anglican vicar, grew up in High Wycombe, before moving to Birmingham as a teenager when his father was appointed vicar of St John's Church, Harborne. He studied history at Sheffield University, graduating in 2000.
Hughes is married to Rachel and has four children; Phoebe Joy (born 2 October 2007), Simeon John (born 28 February 2009), Lois Jubilee (born 12 September 2010) and Judah James nicknamed 'JJ' (born 6 December 2012).
Hughes began his music career in 1997, when he was invited by Mike Pilavachi to lead worship at a Soul Survivor festival. After the departure of Matt Redman, from Soul Survivor Watford Church, Hughes succeeded him as Worship Pastor. In 2005, he moved to Holy Trinity Brompton, an Anglican church in central London, where he became the Director of Worship.
He is a member of Compassionart, a charity founded by musician Martin Smith, the front man of Delirious?.
Hughes was ordained as a deacon in the Anglican church on 29 June 2013 at St Paul's Cathedral, London, and ordained a priest a year later at St Mary's Abbots', Kensington.
His first appointment was as vicar of St Luke's, Gas Street, Birmingham in 2015. A derelict building was renovated and consecrated as a church for Hughes and his team to begin services.
