James Stockstill’s musical journey began at the age of five, learning to play the piano and continuing to train classically until he was 16 years old. At that time, he began serving with the Bethany Church worship team as well as Deluge (an internationally recognized Christian band led by his brother, Jonathan Stockstill) and quickly developed a passion for singing, leading worship and songwriting. He went on to study at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he served with the ORU LIVE student touring team.

James currently resides as the Worship Director of Bethany Church and Bethany Music. The culture of worship at Bethany comes from a unified response to God’s presence and His love for His Church. Their desire is to build a life-giving community of singers, musicians and songwriters who are passionate about leading others into a place of intimate worship and an understanding of the power of God’s presence. James has written and recorded over 30 songs with Bethany Music since 2016 and has a desire to both equip the body of Christ with songs and to make an impact in Christian Music.
