Your Church can partner with 90.9 The Vine as an underwriting supporter and provide assistance to the Radio Ministry in 3 different ways:

• Now that God has met our needs to purchase the equipment and put this new local radio ministry on-the-air, we still have ongoing monthly expenses such as electricity, telephone, internet, and building rental to maintain our positive outreach to the area communities that we serve.  Therefore we are asking for a commitment from each partnering church to make monthly contributions to the radio station that will enable us to stay on the airwaves 24 hours a day.   We are a non-profit foundation and a listener supported radio ministry.  But we are not simply asking for a donation from your church.  90.9 The Vine will provide many benefits to each participating church, as outlined below.  We want to promote your church ministry!
• We also ask for your prayerful support as this ministry moves forward to reach people throughout the southeastern Illinois area in a positive way.  This is truly the first and only LOCALIZED Christian Radio Station with local people promoting local churches and local Christian events. 

By supporting 90.9 The Vine, we will in turn support your Church Ministry by promoting your church in several ways, including:

• :30 to :60 sec. Underwriting announcements "on-the-air" from your pastor or other church leader that promotes upcoming events and regular worship times at your church and invites people to visit your church. We can also include sound clips from members of your church as they talk about the ministry opportunities at your church and what they like about being a member of your church. We have a variety of great programming options for your church to plug into as an underwriting sponsor.  We can also have your Pastor visit in-studio with us during our "Getting to Know You" segment on Fridays during the Vine Morning Show. 
• We will post your upcoming Christian events and Concerts on the Church Calendar of Events here on this website at www.wvyn.org and we will promote our Church Calendar frequently throughout the day, live on the radio.....making the website a popular destination point on the internet.
• Supporting churches also receive ongoing 24/7 promotion on our popular "church finder" website at www.SouthernIllinoisChurches.com the most visited website of it's kind in the area which will be heavily promoted on-the-air.  You will always have an opportunity to expand your listing with more information, more photos, and a video welcome message from your pastor or other church staff member. We will link your listing to your church website.  If you don't have a website, we can help you build an effective church website quickly & easily.  For details, just visit our helpful tool at www.ChurchWebsiteBuilder.net
• As an on-going supporter of 90.9 The Vine, we will invite your church to submit music recordings of your singers, praise band, worship leaders etc. to us on Audio CD that we will program into a localized Christian Music show known as "Home Grown Praise & Worship," which will further promote your church. If you don't have CD recording capabilities at your church, we can direct you to a low-cost recording studio in the area where you can lay down some song tracks that will be produced at broadcast quality standards for use on the radio station.
• If you want to broadcast an entire worship service or regular bible study program to the entire world, we will assist our supporting churches by providing them with  FREE Audio Streaming & Archiving on their church website (if they have one.) The link to each broadcast "stream" will also be placed on this website as well.  The broadcasts will be accessible by anyone worldwide 24 hours a day from any computer.  This will be a very effective way for your church to expand their ministry.  Due to our continuous format of Christian music programming, and the large number of churches located in our coverage area, we cannot single out any particular church and broadcast a local worship service on the radio.  But, we will be very happy to promote your church activities and your internet broadcast by sending people to your website through promotional announcements on the radio and through direct links from this website.  Remember, if you don't currently have a church website, we can help you build one.  Just ask us, or visit www.ChurchWebsiteBuilder.net
