The Worship Culture Tour

Stellar Award–nominated gospel recording artist Jordan G. Welch is redefining the worship experience with The Worship Culture Tour, a transformative two-day gathering that invites participants from all backgrounds to engage in authentic, community-centered worship.  Known for her globally recognized Choir Rehearsal segments and gospel hit Open the Eyes of My Heart, Welch has cultivated a worship movement that reaches far beyond traditional church walls. This summer and fall, she will bring that movement to life in seven cities across the United States.  The Worship Culture Tour launches in Washington, DC, on August 8-9 (Aug. 22/23 Chesapeake, VA, Aug. 29/30 Nashville, TN, Sept. 12/13 Atlanta, GA, Sept. 26/27 Dallas, TX, Oct 3/4 Chicago, IL, Oct. 17/18 Detroit, MI).  I strongly suggest you visit theworshipculturetour.com to purchase your tickets.  Jordan G. Welch praise and worship is an in-person demonstration of a life that honors God.  If you have not liistened to ONE: Live in Atlanta, it is available on all digital outlets.  As an independent worship artist, she has captured the attention of over 11 million streams and more than 6.3 million on YouTube, which is evidence that people are in need and the Lord is calling His people closer.  I’m not talking about old-school saints only.  I am speaking about the new generation who many say are abandoning church.  They might be abandoning the building, but they are not abandoning worship.  Her album ONE: Live in Atlanta, standout track, How Much More, became a viral sensation on TikTok and Instagram, demonstrating her ability to blend traditional gospel roots with modern digital culture.  Billboard-charting artist Jordan G. Welch has been nominated for the 2025 Stellar Award for Praise and Worship Album of the Year, further solidifying her place in the next generation of influential gospel artists. Note: my favorite is Satisfied. If you enjoy worship, ONE: Live in Atlanta is mandatory.
