Ministry Spotlight Selection Criteria and Guidelines

The Light FM Ministry Spotlight Selection Criteria and Guidelines

At The Light FM, we count it a privilege to share the stories of what God is doing through local ministries. Each month, our Ministry Spotlight feature gives a platform—on air and online—to highlight organizations faithfully serving in Jesus’ name. There is no cost for this feature. This is our gift to help shine a light on God’s work through you. If your ministry is interested in being considered for a Ministry Spotlight, here are the minimum requirements:

• Shared Faith: Everything done at The Light FM is driven by our Statement of Faith, including choosing who we feature in a Ministry Spotlight. Your ministry must have a Statement of Faith that is publicly displayed (i.e., website) or available to The Light FM upon request. Your Statement of Faith and program activities must be in alignment with (that is, not inconsistent with any part of) our Statement of Faith. (The Light FM is operated by Blue Ridge Broadcasting, a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and shares the same Statement of Faith.) 
• Active Presence: Ministries must maintain an active website with accurate and current contact information. An up-to-date “Contact Us” page is essential, and we encourage ministries to respond promptly to any listener inquiries.
• Nonprofit Status: Participating ministries should be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
• Point of Contact: Each ministry must provide a primary contact person for The Light FM team. This individual will help review and approve spotlight scripts, answer questions that may come up during the month, and receive a copy of the final audio feature. (We’ll need their name, title, address, phone number, and a valid email.)

Please Note

Because of the high level of interest, we cannot feature every ministry—even if all criteria are met. The Ministry Spotlight calendar often fills quickly, and at times there may be a wait before we’re able to schedule new organizations. For planning purposes, we aim to finalize the following year’s spotlight calendar by fall. (For example, the 2026 calendar will be set by fall of 2025.)

How to Apply

If you believe your ministry would be a good fit for the Ministry Spotlight, please send your information—including your website address—to:

We are honored by your interest in the Ministry Spotlight and excited at the possibility of partnering together. Thank you for all you do to advance the Kingdom of God in our communities. Our prayer is that, as listeners hear your story, they will be encouraged to take their next step of faith and join in what God is doing through your ministry.
