About Story Nights
88.5 WJIE Story Nights are monthly gatherings created to bring worship, prayer, and community together in a meaningful way. Launched by 88.5 WJIE, Story Nights are designed to unite churches and people across our community for an evening focused on God’s presence and the power of shared stories.
Held on the third Tuesday of every month, Story Nights take place at different churches throughout the year, creating a rhythm of worship that moves beyond one location and into the heart of our city. Each gathering is unique, but every Story Night shares the same purpose: to create space for worship, prayer, and connection. Story Nights are not about performance or programming, they are about people. They are moments to slow down, lift our voices together, pray for one another, and be reminded that every story matters.
Whether you’re deeply rooted in a church community or simply looking for a place to encounter God and connect with others, Story Nights are open to everyone. 88.5 WJIE Story Nights, a new chapter of worship, prayer, and unity in our community.
