Want to fill your day with worship music but tired of algorithm-driven playlists that miss the mark? Air1 is a dedicated Christian worship radio network from Educational Media Foundation (EMF) — the nonprofit ministry behind K-LOVE, the nation's largest contemporary Christian radio network.^1
Air1 pivoted fully to worship music in 2019, moving away from Christian pop hits to become a worship-focused station with the tagline "Worship Now."^2 The app brings this experience to your phone with live streaming of Air1's curated worship programming, featuring artists like Phil Wickham, Brandon Lake, Elevation Worship, Charity Gayle, Chris Tomlin, and hundreds more.^3
Beyond music, the app includes a built-in prayer community where you can submit prayer requests and pray for fellow listeners — with notifications when someone responds to your request.^3 You'll also find daily Verse of the Day cards (now with video explanations), exclusive artist interviews and performances, devotionals, and faith-based life resources.^4
One listener shared: "This is the BEST app for Christian music if you enjoy worshiping to mostly modern day songs. It is commercial free & doesn't have too much talking."^5 A younger user wrote: "I downloaded Air 1 since my youth leader suggested it because it's like K-LOVE but for teens. And it's true. I love the upbeat music and that it's not super repetitive with the songs it plays."^4
The app also supports Apple CarPlay, Apple TV, Roku, and smart TVs, with location-based streaming so you can discover local Air1 stations wherever you travel.^3 Air1 recently launched prayer request translation, letting you read and pray for requests in your own language.^4
Air1 extends beyond the app with the annual "Worship Now Tour" — a national concert experience featuring top worship artists. The 2025 tour featured Phil Wickham, Charity Gayle, Josh Baldwin, and Benjamin William Hastings across multiple cities.^6
Air1 is completely free and listener-supported — no subscriptions, no ads, no paywalls. EMF was founded in 1982 with a single radio station in Northern California and now reaches all 50 states through over 1,000 broadcast signals.^1
