The Family Radio Network

Originally an outreach of Evangel Community Church in Menasha, EMI became independent in 1982 to more effectively serve the greater Christian community.

In the late 1970’s EMI served the community through Christian bookstores in Neenah and Appleton, a graphics and printing company and WEMI-FM. WEMI took to the airwaves on September 9th, 1977 and in March of 1981 WEMI began broadcasting 24 hours a day. WGNV was added in 1991 and WEMY in 1998.

In April of 1998, the Christian Family Radio name and logo of the white cross on a blue & green background appeared. In June of 2011, the ministry was renamed “The Family” and rebranded to current green, blue and white logo.

In September of 2017, Evangel Ministries, Inc. changed its legal name to The Family Radio Network, Inc.

Our Foundational Principles

Our Core Values

Christ-First

Christ is the head of our workplace. We seek Him first, His will and His righteousness to guide our decisions and the actions that follow. We are committed to personal growth through the study of His word and prayer.

Faith

We believe that Jesus Christ saves, restores, inspires hope, and transforms lives. We are committed to living out our faith by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ whenever possible, believing that ‘faith comes by hearing’.

Integrity

We do the right thing even when no one is looking. We take responsibility for our mistakes and we don’t blame others. We are honest with all and fair in our business practices. We are good stewards of God’s financial gifts to our organization.

Respect

We believe that all people are created in God’s image. We treat others better than ourselves. We speak truth in love. We look for the best in each other.
