Applying for church membership accounts with NZ Christian Network

If you are the senior pastor/minister or church secretary/admin authorised to give assent to our statement of faith on behalf of your congregation, you can apply for your church to become a member.

If you aren’t, then please tell them about NZ Christian Network and encourage them to visit this page to find out more about us and why they should sign up for church membership.

Church memberships include up to three email addresses linked to the account for the purpose of accessing the additional benefits listed above. Please encourage other members of your congregation to join as individuals.

See the FAQ section for answers to common questions.

In creating the primary account for your church, we strongly recommend you use the name or acronym for your church as the username, as it is unique and permanent (it cannot be changed). Email addresses and other details can be updated as people change roles within your church.

The email address and password at the bottom of the form are the ones associated with your primary account. All billing communication will be sent to the email address provided here and can also be updated when personnel change. These are what you will use to log into the site to access the extra benefits available for denominational memberships.

USERNAME: Enter the name of your church as the username when creating your primary account. Note: Most of the fields required are your personal details, except for when it is prefaced with ‘Church’. These details can be updated at any time to transfer between staff.
