MINISTRY

1. What did CBH stand for?
CBH stood for Children’s Bible Hour. Back in 1942, a young girl remarked to her uncle that, although there were Christian broadcasts for adults, there were none for kids. Her uncle, Rev. Gil Cosselman, agreed, and he brought together three other pastors to talk about the possibility of starting a radio ministry for kids. After a lot of praying, planning, and hard work the committee created the concept for Children’s Bible Hour, a 60-minute weekly program of song and story that would present the message of Jesus Christ to kids.

2. Why was Children’s Bible Hour replaced after 59 years of broadcasting?
The Children’s Bible Hour radio program has touched many lives over the years. In more recent years, through research and much feedback from good friends, it seemed that the program wasn't meeting the needs for many of today's kids and families. It was time for a change. The message of Jesus Christ NEVER changes- but the way it's communicated does. After much prayer and hard work, CBH replaced Children’s Bible Hour with Down Gilead Lane, in March 2001.
