What is the New Zealand Christian Network?
We are a registered non-profit organisation and our mission is to help Christians work together, build the Church, and positively influence society.
We network, develop relationships, identify issues where the Church can be more effective by working together, and help provide leadership for change.
In response to Jesus’ prayer “may they be one that the world will know” (John 17), we long to see greater unity in the Church, and for Christ’s influence to flourish in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Events organised by NZ Christian Network
PAONZ is a simple initiative with an intentionally simple purpose: we exist to gather God’s people of Aotearoa, New Zealand to pray.
Join us from 8 – 9 pm every Monday via Zoom.
Praying together in community for our nation, regions, churches and whānau.
Prayer Breakfasts are annual events which take place in Auckland and Hamilton.
Christchurch and Wellington coming soon!
Our New Zealand Christian Leaders’ Congress takes place every three years.
We host other adhoc one-day events to continue unifying Christians within Aotearoa New Zealand.
In a time when there are so many other beliefs and opinions influencing New Zealand people, I commend NZCN’s clear witness to biblical Christian faith.
