What is the Webster-Rock Hill Ministries?

The Webster-Rock Hill Ministries, a non-profit organization chartered in 1982, is a cooperative effort of member churches to fulfill their commission to serve people in need within a community. The Ministries creates alternatives for those who feel they have none. This includes people who lack the physical necessities of life, emotional resources to cope, or spiritual counsel. W-RHM works to create community by promoting understanding between people and groups. In doing so, opportunities are provided for diverse members of the community to work together across lines of class, age, race and denomination.

Mission Statement Our Beliefs• KWRH-LP Radio, 92.9FM, is

the communications arm of the Webster-Rock Hill Ministries that will produce and broadcast programming designed to meet the spiritual, educational, cultural, economic, civic, organizational, health, entertainment and informational concerns associated with the uniquely diverse 63119 communities of Webster Groves, Rock Hill, Warson Woods, Glendale, and Shrewsbury, Missouri.

• It is the committee’s bedrock belief that when more people are given the chance to showcase their talents and voice issues of local importance, a richer understanding among residents will occur, solid decision-making processes will be enhanced, and the vibrant spiritual and emotional health of the community will be upheld. This is an opportunity for the 63119 communities to claim their local slice of the airwaves and voice their unique vision for a better future.
