Biography

St Aldates Worship is the worship and creative team of St Aldates Church in Oxford, UK. Led by Jamie Thomson and Lauren Harris (New Wine Worship), the creative community has attracted songwriters such as Tom Read (formerly The Vine, Hong Kong and Worship Central) and penned songs that faithfully serve the local church but demonstrate a deep marrying of theology, poetry and accessibility- including modern classics You Restore My Soul - Live and Gravity. St Aldates Church, Oxford has been a place where worship has happened for over a thousand years. In modern times St Aldates Worship have cemented a firm place in the UK worship scene – not least through 2007’s pioneering Stand In Awe (led by Martyn Layzell, ‘Lost In Wonder’). Though it’s been 9 years since their last release, You: A Worship Project, a clear call from God led the community to remain hidden and develop their craft- the fruits of which matured into ‘The Annual’ project- seeing the church release a song every month via their YouTube channel throughout 2018. The quiet dedication during these years has already overflowed to the wider church in powerful and connective songs such as ‘Gravity’ (featured on Integrity’s Ultimate Worship 2016) and ‘You Restore My Soul’ (featured on the same-titled New Wine 2018 live album). St Aldates Worship will release their new live album 'Until You Do' on July 19th - featuring 12 original homegrown worship songs written by the St Aldates worship community.
