Port City Worship is a collection of worship leaders from South Alabama whose goal is to help students love Jesus. Since 2019, we’ve been traveling across the Southeast, leading worship at camps and retreats and inspiring young people through music. We believe and have seen that singing and praying together is powerful, and we love leading students in worship.
