The University of Mobile Worship Choir is stepping off the concert stage and into the heart of the local church this fall as the Alabama School of the Arts presents “Worship Choir: Sunday Services,” a new initiative that takes the Baptist university’s large choir into local churches for Sunday morning worship.
The student choir will join with church worship teams, using their talents to serve congregations, create meaningful musical experiences and bring people in closer relationship to Jesus Christ.

“The University of Mobile is grateful to walk alongside local churches in ministry, sharing our common commitment to the Great Commission,” said UM President Charles Smith. “Programs like ‘Worship Choir: Sunday Services’ give students hands-on opportunities to grow as musicians, leaders and servants of Christ while building meaningful connections between our campus and the communities we serve.”
Andrew Goodwin, dean of the Alabama School of the Arts, added, “These Sunday services allow our students to partner directly with churches, share the gospel through music and create worship experiences that resonate both on campus and beyond. It’s a unique way for our students to grow as musicians, leaders and ministers, all while living out their calling for Christ and His Kingdom.”
Many of the university’s smaller ensembles such as Voices of Mobile, RamCorps, SoFree, Welsh Revival and Deliverance regularly lead worship at churches. The Worship Choir is a much larger group consisting of approximately 95 students from diverse academic backgrounds. The choir is known for powerful performances at major events like Christmas Spectacular and Spring Spectacular.
