CMB’s mission is to encourage, engage and equip our members to impact their communities for Christ. That is why it was never an option to cancel Momentum 2020 but to restructure it in a way that accomplishes our mission. We are here to support and encourage YOU. Out of this passion birthed a new concept, virtual Momentum 2020.

Thank you those those who joined us for Momentum 2020 and for trusted us. You took a chance not knowing what a virtual conference would look like. We did everything in our power and through much prayer, to deliver you a unique and memorable experience. We’ve heard from many of you who came to Momentum 2020 feeling depleted and left with a renewed purpose.

Pivoting Momentum to a digital experience required a massive amount of teamwork. The CMB team are rock stars! We could not have done it without the help of the CMB Board, the Momentum Leadership Team, table leaders, and so many of you who jumped in to help. We are better together.

Words cannot express how thankful we are to our partnering labels and committed sponsors like Compassion and Convoy of Hope who put their confidence in us as we navigated through the uncharted waters.

While Momentum 2020 was fun, we are counting down the days until Momentum 2021 (mark your calendars now…June 2-4 in Orlando). It’s been too long since we’ve all been under one roof!

Although nothing could take the place of looking into the eyes of my friends face-to-face, what the CMB team created for us in 2020 was nothing short of incredible. We are so fortunate to have an organization like this committed to teaching and encouraging us, making us better broadcasters and people.

I was pleasantly surprised to meet new friends in the networking lounge, whose paths I never crossed in my many years at Momentum. The virtual aspect opened new opportunities for engagement that were truly and uniquely enjoyable.

Momentum was incredible! Dr. Elmore…mind blown! I literally wept on the way home thinking about the impact we can have on Gen Z. Kirk Cousins…shut the front door…encouraged and impressed!!! That virtual networking lounge…woah Nelly! It felt like I was un-grounded and got to go play with my friends….

Momentum 2020 was the revival my heart needed. CMB continually exudes excellence, exceptional quality, and passion into all they do, and virtual Momentum exceedingly showcased just that. While attending, and seeing the mission of spreading the hope of the Gospel through Christian radio evidently displayed, I felt God remind me (as He has at every CMB held event), “This is why I have called you to serve Me here.” CMB Momentum reminds us that what we do isn’t just our career, but our calling.

On-Air Personality, Resound Radio

When I found out that Momentum was being moved to a virtual conference, I was quite disappointed. I was really looking forward to speaking and meeting everyone in attendance. However, after experiencing it, I must admit I was blown away with how well everything went. My speaking session went off without any issues and the Q&A session was great. I absolutely loved the Networking Lounge that allowed me to talk to attendees “face-to-face”. I also greatly enjoyed attending the conference and watching other speakers and breakout sessions. Momentum 20 was a home run! CMB’s staff is just awesome! So encouraging, helpful, and fun.

Great speakers delivering relevant content, timely inspirational messages (the power of the pivot), connecting with old friends, making new ones, artist visits and performances, prizes…Momentum 2020 was everything we’ve come to expect thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the CMB team. The only thing “off” was my step count from all the walking normally done in Florida.

CMB displayed such quick thinking and a remarkable ability to pivot in a season of uncertainty. Samaritan Ministries was glad to participate in a virtual conference of this high caliber, which provided many opportunities to still connect and network as a sponsor. Great job!

Amanda Wilton

Samaritan Ministries International

While we can never replace the blessing of having Momentum in person, this virtual experience was far better than anticipated. The CMB Team did an incredible job providing the opportunity to connect with others as well as bringing encouragement and education through all the speakers, breakout sessions, and artist performances. Thank you CMB!

Jocelyn Clarambeau

Compassion International

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this amazing event! This conference was very special for us, and all the love we got from all the participants over these last four days has been heart filling and wonderful. We love Christian Radio!

Speakers & artists are subject to change. CMB’s mission is rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ and our desire to equip Christian music broadcasters. We acknowledge that all sponsors, speakers and event partners may not affirm our statement of faith. However, we believe that their participation will strengthen CMB’s overall mission and Kingdom objectives.

As if serving one community isn’t a privilege, BOOST RADIO served six in 2021. In January, BOOST reintroduced themselves to St. Louis when they moved from a translator to a full-power signal. BOOST hit the cold streets with weekly “Sweet Stops;” the first 95 listeners to show up got free treats. BOOST team members served as the official DJs for two different Polar Plunges with the Special Olympics in February; nearly $200,000 was raised from hundreds of brave swimmers. March was when BOOST grew into Chicago! To celebrate, the station delivered deep dish pizza to listeners in St Louis and Chicago. BOOST RADIO renamed April 1 to April Fuel’s Day and had DJs pop up at random gas stations in both markets to buy gas for strangers. Spring & Summer brought BOOST to Minneapolis, Portland, OR, Pittsburgh, and Fayetteville, NC. The station brought their new friends Pop Up Parties for their backyard BBQ’s and open houses. BOOST supplied food, party favors, and custom mixes for dozens of winners nationwide. During the late summer and early fall, the station partnered with Out of the Darkness for suicide prevention walks. Across all BOOST markets, nearly 10,000 walked together. During the holidays, the station teamed up with rapper Thi’sl & the Salvation Army for the Full Ride Toy Drive. BOOST listeners filled a storage locker & U Haul full of gifts for children in need. 2021 was a year BOOST hit the streets and empowered its audience to bless others in their communities.

At Hope Media Group, the passion for Christ and the city of Houston shine in its efforts to mobilize the community to do good works so that more people can experience God’s love. After Hurricane Ida, generous KSBJ and NGEN listeners raised over $276,000 with God’s Pit Crew, sending 684 KSBJ Team Help Crews to Louisiana and sponsoring the distribution of 2,711 Blessing Buckets. KSBJ listeners also provided 20,000 bottles of water for fellow Houstonians after the winter freeze, and over 2,450 KSBJ and NGEN listeners participated in our annual Blood Drive with Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center saving more than 7,000 lives. A ministry committed to prayer, KSBJ formed the Greater Houston Prayer Council (GHPC), unifying 48 prayer groups across the city with an interdenominational, multi-ethnic, and multi-generational focus. KSBJ was also a beacon of joy to the community serving 3,000 cups of Blue Bell ice cream last summer and handing out 4,175 Easter Crosses for listeners to display as a reminder that “He is Risen.” During the holiday season, 91.7 Vida Unida blessed 100 families with Thanksgiving meals, and KSBJ listeners fulfilled the Christmas wishes of 9,315 children under the care of Houston CPS in partnership with Be A Resource. Beyond loving their neighbor, caring KSBJ and NGEN listeners sponsored 1,233 Kenyan children through Compassion International. In a year of unforeseen challenges along with the enduring effects of COVID-19, Hope Media Group listeners served as the hands and feet of Jesus like never before.

KCBI shares Jesus’ love and transforming power in Dallas-Fort Worth, inviting listeners to join the station in serving the community. KCBI Outreaches blessed nearly 67,000 individuals in 2021. In February, KCBI listeners provided 25,000 bottles of water to people in DFW whose water supply had been contaminated after an unprecedented winter storm disrupted power for several days. Later that month, nearly 1,300 women gathered for KCBI’s HeartStrong Faith Conference in Dallas to worship, pray and grow. Speakers included bestselling author Margaret Feinberg, podcaster Tara-Leigh Cobble, and theologian Nika Spaulding. Through KCBI’s Summer of Service, listeners donated over 13,000 meals, along with 9,000 Bibles, to community members still struggling with the COVID pandemic. Another 350 KCBI volunteers served at local ministries on our Summer of Service Day. They assembled 1,000 Love Boxes for women facing unplanned pregnancies; prepped backpacks, sorted clothing and distributed food to those in need; and prepped nearly 2,000 shoes for kids whose parents otherwise couldn’t afford them. Thanks to listeners’ generosity, KCBI distributed more than 32,000 Bibles to Texas prisons, human trafficking ministries and humanitarian ministries in 2021. Listeners purchased sonograms for pregnancy centers, which helped save more than 5,500 babies from abortion. They provided 38,000 bottles of water, along with 500 Bibles, to victims of the devastating tornadoes that swept through Kentucky in December. And throughout 2021, listeners offered more than 21,300 prayers for requests through KCBI’s Online Prayer Center. KCBI is grateful to God for the opportunity to impact DFW and beyond with Jesus’ love and transforming power.

Life 102.5 has a heart for Madison! For the 4th year in a row, during Valentine’s season, Life 102.5 invited listeners to share the love of Jesus with children and families receiving care at the Children’s Hospital. Listeners generously provided 2,234 Lego kits for the children. Afternoon host Summer Shepherd interviewed Dr. Melissa Mork on her award-winning podcast, “No Seriously, How Do I Do This?” Their conversation inspired the station’s “Embrace Play” giveaway, supporting families’ mental health during the pandemic. Life 102.5 provided a week’s worth of experiences for listeners, including art classes, game nights, and more. Morning Show host Dave Conour joined Team World Vision and rang two full marathons to bring attention to World Vision’s efforts of providing clean water to children and families around the world, Dave’s many miles provided 260 families with clean water for life! Life 102.5’s 21st annual Shoebox Gifts for Kids drive collected more than 1500 Christmas boxes of school supplies, hygiene items, toys, and winter clothing for children in Dane County. It was the station’s largest year yet. Amanda Brooks, Morning Show co-host and host of the weekly program “Faith & Life Today” focused on giving voice to women’s health, family and children’s issues in Madison including, education, marriage and divorce, immigration, and social justice. Life 102.5 had a wonderful year of reaching families, through children, with the love of Jesus. That’s why in 2022, Life 102.5’s outreach goal is focused on helping the most vulnerable children and their families in Madison and Southern Wisconsin.

Spirit 92.9 continued its commitment of blessing the central Minnesota community through intentional service projects. As the pandemic affected another year, station listeners rose to the challenge of uplifting and encouraging those feeling loss, loneliness, or burnout. Thanks to the help of generous listeners and business partners, Spirit 92.9 raised more than $8,000 in an online tip jar that blessed the staff at 19 local restaurants returning to work full time with huge tips during the Big Tip promotion. The restaurant workers were grateful for the visibility and appreciation. Numerous area teachers nominated by their students and families received special honor at the end of the school year with flowers and $500 VISA gift cards as part of “Thank A Teacher” organized by Spirit 92.9. In the fall, Spirit 92.9 partnered with two local ministries and provided free holiday meals to the community. During the ‘More Than A Meal’ event, the station worked with community members who donated enough to provide 6,000 meals and give help to people in need. Station team members also prepared and served meals together at the local homeless mission. At Christmastime, 11 community members wrote Spirit 92.9 and shared the story of someone they believed deserved some extra joy due to personal hardships. The individuals received $1000 to bless that person during Spirit 92.9’s Share The Joy promotion. Phone calls were made to hundreds of listeners to offer prayer and encouragement. Prayer support and a personal response is offered all year long.
