About

The Firstlight Story, so far...

In January of 2012 a group of volunteers were inspired to launch a nationwide Christian TV channel that would share the love of God with all of New Zealand. Within a few days, a temporary board and various volunteer teams were established to carry out the work. The name “Firstlight Broadcasting Network” was chosen as New Zealand is one of the first countries to see the light each morning.

In early March, the board established the Firstlight Charitable Trust (Incorporated) to allow those who share the same vision to partner with Firstlight through regular donations.

On September 17th 2012, Firstlight began broadcasting nationally on Freeview|HD (UHF terrestrial) channel 26. A few years later Firstlgiht began to broadcast 24/7 on Freeview Satellite, also Channel 26 and on Sky on Channel 206.

We invite you to join us in this exciting adventure by becoming a Firstlight Partner today.

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
(Matthew 24:14)



The Firstlight Mission

The Firstlight channel aims to share the good news of Jesus Christ into every home in New Zealand. Going into places previously untouched by God's message and connecting with those who may have never set foot inside a church. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Firstlight will broadcast messages of hope; clear and concise explanations from God’s word that leave no room for error or compromise. Offering a place of safety and refuge where people can come to understand who God really is and be drawn into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
