Our mission is to inspire people to know Jesus personally and challenge them to follow Him faithfully through the creative use of interactive media.
Our Vision: The Ministries of Celebration Radio are expanding God’s Kingdom and inspiring the transformation of lives by using compelling, Christ-centered music and programming through relevant technology.
Celebration Radio, KAMB broadcasts, and streams inspiring contemporary Christian music. KAMB also features many programs that focus on Biblical values and provide practical help in dealing with the challenging issues of life. Our desire is to see lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ throughout Central California and the world. To accomplish this, we use relevant technology. You can listen to KAMB on the radio or online, visit our website, or interact with us on social media. We also love to make personal contacts at local events. Our purpose is the Great Commission!
KAMB first went on the air in November of 1967. The first broadcast was live with a DJ’s microphone on a crate in a field by the transmitter which was located on a mountain in the foothills of California’s Central Valley.
Originally the music was played on reel-to-reel tapes which had to be pre-recorded and loaded for play every hour. When the station went to 24-hour broadcasting, that meant the station had to be “manned” ‘round the clock. Reel-to-reel tapes were eventually replaced with CDs. Currently, the music and programs are all stored digitally on computers. Even the Host’s shows can be pre-recorded if they are not available for a live broadcast.
Over five decades ago the founders of KAMB chose to offer Christ-centered music and programming without commercial interruption to serve listeners throughout Central California. Celebration Radio is listener and community-funded. In the 2000s, KAMB welcomed funding from Impact Sponsors. These are listeners who run businesses, non-profit organizations, and ministries. Impact Sponsors believe in our mission and want to help ensure that lives are being impacted for Christ each day through the ministry of KAMB. So, whether you are an individual listener, business, or ministry, we invite you to partner with us in this life-changing ministry: /support.
KAMB’s format has changed over the years. KAMB began with inspirational music and biblical programs. This even included local music artists, preaching, and teaching. As the Christian Music industry grew and changed, so did KAMB. Celebration Radio mixed inspiration with Adult Contemporary Music in the ’80s and ’90s. In the early 2000’s we switched to the Adult Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) format which suits a broader range of listening adults. KAMB is also a reporting station and therefore no longer plays locally recorded music.
Celebration Radio KAMB broadcasts music that celebrates a new life in Christ Jesus. We regularly add new music and new artists to our playlist in keeping with Psalm 96:1, “Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.” KAMB broadcasts Christ-centered programs that teach the truth of the Gospel every day. These are some of the top ministries in the Christian community today such as Focus on the Family, Moneywise, Intentional Living, Insight for Living, and Key Life.
At Celebration Radio, the Hosts, Staff, and Volunteers invite listeners into their lives as they follow Christ. Behind the microphone, at a desk, at a concert, or at a local event, we welcome contact with listeners and pray for them daily!

One of the newest songs playing on KAMB is “Getting Started” by Jeremy Camp. This song is an inspirational pep talk for all the broken-hearted…you’re only getting started!

You can also learn more about Jeremy and follow him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeremycamp.
“Getting Started” by Jeremy Camp is the newest single from his current album, “When You Speak.” Regarding the album, Jeremy said “This album is a culmination of what God revealed to me during this last season. These songs are straight from my heart and I can’t wait for everyone to hear them.”
“My new single “Getting Started” is one of my favorite songs I have written! Was actually the first song I wrote for this album. Jesus says in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” No matter where you are in life, no matter how old you are, no matter what you have gone through, you always can just be getting started!!”

Are you running round in circles with no place to go? Is there a person in the mirror you don’t even know? Someone still sees who you are Were you the kid that was a dreamer, now you don’t believe? Are you the lock that got so broken, now you lost the key? Someone still loves who you are To anyone who ever lost your way To everyone who ever felt ashamed Here’s a song for all the broken-hearted I believe you’re only getting started To anyone who trusts in Jesus’ name Watch your world become forever changed Here’s a song about light from darkness I believe you’re only getting started If you only knew the treasure that you really are If you could understand the measure of the Father’s heart He loves you, He loves you, He loves you Fall in His arms and let Him wash you clean He’ll tear off the chains so that you can be free A new life begins and the old is redeemed Oh I believe He loves you, He loves you, He loves you
