Based in Birmingham, UK, husband and wife worship leaders Nick and Becky Drake serve at St. Luke’s Gas Street under Reverend Tim Hughes, himself a renowned songwriter and worship leader. Nick and Becky are sought-after teachers of the practices and theology of all age worship and are an integral part of the Worship Central resource/training platform that serves worship teams across the globe. They launched ‘Worship For Everyone’ in 2010 – a movement to unite all ages in worship, writing songs for churches, homes and schools and a new way of thinking about corporate worship. It is the fruit of the realisation that it is about time to bring down the barriers between what is considered ‘for children’ and ‘for adults’ and instead build the family of God.Worship For Everyone is founded on the songs the couple have written together over the years; the genesis of this project was the album Big Family Of God (2008) and carried on till their third release in 2012, UNIQUE, expressing their vision and marking the beginning of a new chapter to advance the values of Worship For Everyone. Nick & Becky recently releases a series of new singles – Speak Your Name, Slingshot, God Is Good, and The Ark. As part of this quest to reshape the church’s understanding and expression of all age worship, Nick is also doing doctoral research on the theology of charismatic worship. He is the author of ‘A Deeper Note: the informal theology of sung worship’. Becky is also a School Chaplain and together they have 4 children, who, along with Nick & Becky run a weekly Facebook live show called ‘Family At 4’
All age worship has fallen in a state of stagnancy, with the common separation of ‘adult worship’ and ‘kids worship.’ The vision behind Worship For Everyone‘s music is to release songs to resource times of all age worship and cast vision. Creating moments inspired by the musical narrative in ‘The Greatest Showman’ – where family, shared emotion and the reality of God collide – highlighting the power of unity. The aim is to inspire the church on a global level to believe that the true heart of worship can be released in the context of mixed ages and stages of life; worship times as a family aren’t restricted to ‘fun worship’ but are meant for the power of encounter. Therefore, Nick & Becky want the songs, musicality and theology to be of highest quality – reflecting the project’s central and crucial role in the practice of Christian community. They hope that many of the songs will be used by local churches and spark a new, deeper and authentic experience of worship from God’s heart desire to unite his people.
