CBA exists to share the heart of the Christian faith in mainstream media

At the Christian Broadcasting Association (CBA), mainstream media is our bread and butter. We love that it allows us to have important conversations, we love the pace, the energy and the creativity – and we love the people who make it all happen.

By supporting our work, you help CBA bring hope, light and a faithful Christian presence to an industry that really needs it.

In the beginning

In the late 1960s, long before he became a legend of New Zealand broadcasting, John Hawkesby founded CBA. Riding on the coattails of the Radio Hauraki pirates, the first CBA programme was broadcast by Hawkesby and co from the Tiri, three miles from land in the Hauraki Gulf.

From those innovative and audacious beginnings, CBA has gone on to produce thousands of programmes reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners across more than 50 years.

Would you join us?

Sharing the heart of the Christian faith in a public arena – especially one as visible and powerful as mainstream media – isn’t for everyone, but it’s where CBA thrives.

Our work is only possible thanks to the donations of generous New Zealanders. Would you consider supporting us?
