ABOUT

HISTORY

Since March of 2000 we have had the exciting opportunity to spread the good news of the Gospel throughout Northern Michigan through the medium of Christian radio. The reach of this ministry has expanded internationally through the use of the internet and our smart device app access.

We are a local church ministry of the Grace Baptist Church in Gaylord, MI. The vision to start this ministry has been a reality now for over two decades and through the dedication of our volunteer staff we have earnestly worked hard to provide a source of encouragement to the saved and means of salvation to the lost. We are excited about the role we are playing in the Great Commission. God has ministered greatly to countless listeners through the gospel music, Bible preaching and Spirit filled teaching we have been privileged to offer these many years.

We would like to thank each church, business, family and individual who has helped make this ministry possible through your faithful prayers and generous support! It is our prayer that we may continue to be a blessing and a true representation of our Lord Jesus Christ!

OUR BELIEFS

  • SCRIPTURES

    We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. We further accept the Mazoretic and Textus Receptus manuscripts from which came the King James Bible and accept the King James Bible as the divinely preserved and perfect Word of God for the English-speaking world.

  • TRINITY

    We believe that God is a person, eternally existing as a Trinity, manifesting Himself in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We further believe that these three are one God, but separate in personality and work.

  • JESUS CHRIST

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, eternally existing yet born of a virgin. Being God, He lived a sinless life, making His death on the Cross both sufficient and substitutionary for the sins of the whole world. After making atonement for the sins of the world with His own blood, He ascended into Heaven with a glorified body where He is seated at the right hand of the Father as Head of the Church, making intercession for the saints as our High Priest.

  • SALVATION

    We believe that man is lost in sin and must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. We believe that for lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential. The salvation of a man’s soul is by grace alone through personal faith in the finished work of Christ on the Cross.

  • CHURCH

    We believe that the local church is a group of believers baptized in water; assembled together for edification, exhortation, and evangelism as commanded by Christ in the Great Commission; and preaching the gospel to every creature. We believe God’s program today is centered in the local New Testament church, which is independent and missionary minded.

  • SECOND COMING

    We believe the Lord Jesus Christ Himself is coming again in the air at any moment to rapture His Church and to reward their service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a seven-year period called the Tribulation, after which Christ shall return visibly to the earth with His saints to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this, the unbelievers of all the ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God forever, while believers will spend eternity in the fullness of joy in Heaven with the Lord.

  • POSITIONAL STATEMENT

    We hold to the historic Baptist position of Biblical separation. We are Biblical Fundamentalists and repudiate the liberal and unscriptural religious trends of the day: Ecumenicalism, Neo-Orthodoxy, New Evangelicalism, and the excesses of the Charismatic Movement.
