💝 A Ministry of Love & Dedication

*Currently, all staff roles are fulfilled by our founder as a volunteer ministry. The wages shown represent what it would cost to properly staff a radio station of our scope - demonstrating the true value of this volunteer-driven ministry to our community.

🎵 Smart Cost Management

Many licensing costs are minimized through our strategic use of royalty-free music and music supplied directly by Christian artists and bands who give their kind written permission for us to use their music. This approach significantly reduces our PPL and PRS obligations while supporting independent Christian musicians.

📡 Our Vision & Prayer

We hope and pray to one day expand into a fully licensed Christian radio station and ultimately become a local FM Christian station serving our community with 24/7 gospel broadcasting. Your support today helps build the foundation for this God-given vision to reach even more souls with the message of Christ's love.

Your donations help cover the technical costs while supporting a ministry that operates with dedication, wisdom, and love rather than financial motivation. Thank you for being part of this journey!

Every gift—large or small—moves us toward covering these real ministry costs. Please consider a monthly gift if you're able.
