Three Languages, One Border-Region Children’s Channel for Christian Television in El Paso

During the Spring Telethon, Channel 38, led by Vice President and General Manager Grace Rendall, carried live programming from the studio in English and Spanish from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. The station reaches the El Paso border region in three languages, carrying 188 hours of Spanish programming and 4 hours of Arabic evangelical outreach each week. Its lineup includes a 24-hour Bible service, English Christian variety programming, Spanish programming, children’s and family content, and an end-times channel.

A gift can help fund the equipment and personnel needed for the children's studio. Anyone looking to donate to Christian television in El Paso TX is supporting a multilingual local media operation reaching homes across El Paso, Ciudad Juárez, Las Cruces, and surrounding communities.

Channel 38 Christian Television

Christian television in El Paso serves a multilingual border region

Channel 38 began in 1989, when St. Clements Episcopal Church started KSCE TV as an evangelistic missionary station. It became a nonprofit community outlet serving the border region through local Christian programming. Digital equipment for Kid’s Channel 38.3 is among the station’s current needs.

The station says its mission is to prepare the way of the Lord by reaching homes in El Paso, Juarez, Las Cruces, and beyond with wholesome, inspirational, and educational viewing.

Live local Christian shows run throughout the week, while the English-language lineup also carries news, women’s programs, health programming, and daily children’s content. The event put the station’s bilingual production model on display: live worship moved from the studio to Channel 38 in English and Spanish.

That is Channel 38’s advantage over a national ministry or an ordinary local channel: it produces Christian programming for this border region in multiple languages.

The signal has a physical home and an audience

The KSCE-DT station directory lists the station at 2201 E. Wyoming Avenue in El Paso, where Channel 38 hosted the Spring Telethon’s live worship programming in English and Spanish. Channel 38 Christian Television reports 25 staff and 100 volunteers across its organization. The station lists Grace Rendall as Vice President and General Manager, Eddie Hernandez as Production Manager, and Robert Wilson as IT/Web Manager.

Channel 38’s platform profile reports average viewership of 15,000 to 30,000 at any given time. The network offers Spanish-language content, a child-focused channel, and scripture on a dedicated 24-hour service within the same local nonprofit broadcast network.

What the children’s studio would fund

Channel 38’s documented donation need is equipment and personnel to build a children’s studio, including digital equipment for Kid’s Channel 38.3.

The organization reports 144 hours per week of live local programs, while the children’s studio still needs equipment and personnel to serve its multilingual audience across El Paso, Juárez, and Las Cruces.
