WCVK (90.7 FM) is a Christian radio station with studios and transmitter located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States. The station is the flagship for Christian Family Radio, which currently simulcasts WCVK's programming to WJVK in Owensboro, Kentucky and WZVK in Glasgow, Kentucky, with plans to expand to other repeater stations in the region.

The station went on the air in 1986.

The station's format is a mix of music, primarily contemporary Christian, and long-form Christian programs such as Focus on the Family with James Dobson, Adventures in Odyssey, The Hour of Decision with Billy Graham, and Insight for Living with Chuck Swindoll.

The station was founded by James Chapman, a local businessman and farmer who still serves as the chairman of the board of directors, with the help of a group of other businesses, churches and local residents. Before going on the air, the station's organizational offices were located at First Assembly of God, two doors down from the station's current studios. Ken Cummins was the director of development before the station went on the air, and the first general manager afterward. (Cummins left WCVK to serve on the mission field in Central America.)
