The Kansas City metro is an incredible place to live and serve. At Life 88.5 we know we are honored to be a part of groups that work to make a difference and shine His Light and share His love everyday. Each Sunday morning, Life 88.5, introduces you to a different organization or individual making a difference in our community. We call them Life Changers. Our hope is for you to get to know how your neighbors are making a difference and maybe be moved to join them.
