To engage the people of WA with the positive message of hope in Jesus Christ
Sonshine and Sonshine Extra are a God-inspired, donor-empowered mission that aims to bring the positive message of hope and the life-changing wisdom of God to every household in Perth, Western Australia and beyond.
We believe the commitment of our prayer and financial supporters are the lifeline that keeps the messages of hope on air, and online 24 hours a day and changes lives forever.
Sonshine and Sonshine Extra broadcast to more than 360,000 listeners monthly, through FM, DAB+ and online, while we receive over 240,000 interactions each month through our website and social media. There are countless stories of lives being changed for the better by simply listening to our music, words of wisdom and compassion, and practical teaching programs that are broadcast every day.
We are committed to making Sonshine Extra a 24-hour-a-day ‘inspiration and celebration’ station, broadcasting the God-inspired words of the Christian leaders of Perth every hour, together with inspirational music and practical lessons on life, relationship building and encouraging family and friends.
Sonshine aims to be the number one family station in Perth and Western Australia! Turn on to many FM radio stations and you will hear crude language and themes, inappropriate messages through music, advertising and announcers, and often morals that don’t reflect our own. We want to be a shining light for all families that are striving to raise confident, healthy, happy and well-adjusted children who are our bright future. Listeners can hear up-to-date music, announcers, advertising and life lessons that will comfort, encourage and inspire.
We aim to be a constantly improving mission that is inclusive of volunteers and open to the community. We work in partnership with churches, aid and community support organisations to help change the lives of people here in Perth, Western Australia and around the world.
