What it says it does

The corporation is organized for the purpose of promoting the cause of Christian religion and extending the kingdom of the living God. This will be accomplished through the ownership and operation of a non-commercial non-denominational radio station. Programming will primarily be religious in nature with the purpose of presenting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and will be designed to encourage instruct and inform listeners through the use of music and national and local broadcasters. The station will promote Christian unity by emphasizing doctrines that Christians have in common and encouraging communication between Christians of varying backgrounds and interests.
