CBA was formed over 40 years ago by John Hawkesby and friends to communicate the essentials of the Christian Faith to those who have never understood. CBA is an interdenominational trust which has the endorsement of every mainline Christian denominational leader in New Zealand. CBA is a very simple, low cost organisation overseen by three permanent and two alternative trustees.
Phil has led CBA since 1995 performing various roles, such as programming, new initiatives, fundraising and marketing. His main role is to bring together great Christian communicators to create compelling programmes suitable for mainstream radio audiences, which communicate the Christian faith in creative ways.
Erin started at CBA part-time in 2003, and began full-time in 2006. She looks after the CBA office and has a variety of administrative duties, such as coordinating special projects, appeals and managing our part-time administration staff. One of her key roles is to look after CBA's supporters, answering any questions they may have and ensuring all of their details are up to date.
Josh joined the team early 2010 to expand CBA’s capacity for programming and other initiatives. He has been directly involved in a variety of jobs including producing programmes, creating promotional videos and managing CBA’s online presence and strategies.
Julia works at CBA for a couple of days a week mainly developing the new ‘SALT’ network (Christians who work in mainstream media), finding guests for ‘Real Life’ and writing, recording & editing short-format radio programmes for special times of year. She’s also one of CBA’s presenters - (see below).
Sheree is the part-time Chartered Accountant here at CBA. She manages the books and helps to ensure that CBA continues to operate with integrity and responsibility in regard to finances.
Steve does a range of work for CBA on a seasonal basis including telemarketing, archiving and assorted admin and programming roles.
