Who We Are
The Heartfelt Radio Story
The station we now know as Heartfelt Radio was purchased by Christian Healthcare Ministries in November of 2018. Following a 12-month construction process at the former Portage School in Barberton, and the transmitter site in Creston, WKJA is on the air at 91.9 FM. Heartfelt Radio is dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and presenting uplifting music and quality Christian programming for the entire family.
Heartfelt Radio is locally-focused and Biblically-based!

We Believe
- The Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- That there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- In the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles,
- His vicarious and atoning death on the cross through His shed blood,
- His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return to earth in power and glory.
- That trusting Jesus Christ as Savior is absolutely essential for the lost to be saved and that sinful man is regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
- In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
- In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost - the saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- In the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
