Our Mission
“By God’s grace we are committed to seeing lives changed, families strengthened, and communities impacted for the glory of Christ”
These words are the mission statement for The Promise FM as we serve Northern Michigan and portions of Ontario with non-commercial Christian Music and Programs. At present, we operate four stations and two translators reaching listeners across Northern Michigan and the Eastern Upper Peninsula and into Ontario.
WPHN-90.5-FM, GAYLORD
The ministry of Northern Christian Radio was birthed in the early 1980s when several Christian men felt a burden to have Christian broadcasting available in this area. A board was formed and WPHN 90.5 FM went on the air Easter Sunday in 1985. WPHN serves most of the Central and Eastern Lower Peninsula of Michigan as well parts of the Eastern Upper Peninsula.

In 1988, WOLW 91.1 FM was added to serve the Cadillac area. WOLW serves most of the Western Portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

WTHN-102.3-FM, SAULT STE. MARIE
For many years Northern Christian Radio had been trying to place a station in the Sault Ste. Marie area. On January 29th 2005, 102.3 FM signed on the air. This station covers most of the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan as well as into Ontario covering both the US and Canadian cities of Sault Ste. Marie.
WQHN-100.9-FM, EAST JORDAN
On March 27, 2018, by God’s grace and leading, The Promise FM brought the ministry’s voice to the northwest area of Northern Lower Michigan and began broadcasting on 100.9FM. WQHN will serve listeners in Charlevoix, Boyne City, Petoskey, Bay View, Ellsworth, Central Lake, Bellaire and more sharing the life-changing message of hope and encouragement through Jesus Christ.
With these four stations, plus translators in Petoskey at 99.7 FM and Newberry at 88.7 FM, much of Northern Michigan receives Christian broadcasting. Further expansion is planned to fill in those areas not served by Christian radio, or where a Christian radio signal is not strong enough to be received clearly.
Who We Are. The Promise FM.
