Overview

About Channel 38 Christian Television

Channel 38 Christian Television gives the border region something rare, a locally owned Christian station with live local programs, children’s content, biblical education, community programming, and 24-hour scripture reading. It reaches English-, Spanish-, and Arabic-speaking families across El Paso, Juarez, and Las Cruces, with programming available across four digital channels and other platforms. For donors, the appeal is simple, this is a station built to speak to its community in the languages people actually use.

What sets Channel 38 Christian Television apart is how local and multilingual it is at the same time. It broadcasts in English, Spanish, and Arabic, with family-friendly, Bible-based programming carried across multiple digital channels and other platforms.
