Welcome to Firstlight Broadcasting Network

More About Firstlight...

The Firstlight channel broadcasts nationally 24/7 via the Freeview|HD (UHF terrestrial) network on Channel 26, via Freeview Satellite (also on Channel 26) and on SKY (Channel 206). The official launch onto the satellite platform took place on Saturday 17th September 2016 at 6pm; at this same time Firstlight celebrated its FOURTH birthday of bringing God's loving last day messages to the people of New Zealand.

Firstlight is run by a team of dedicated volunteers whose mission is to proclaim God's love throughout New Zealand. Firstlight aims to broadcast the best selection of ground-breaking Christian programs sourced from 3ABN, Amazing Facts, It Is Written and other international and local New Zealand sources as they become available.

While our programs are based on Christian principles, we believe the program topics will be of great interest to the general public and not just limited to a Christian audience.

Please continue to help us with your prayers and with your financial support. We cannot keep your favourite Firstlight channel up on air without YOUR ongoing support!
Check out this week's Program Schedule to see what is showing and what is coming up on Firstlight.

We show a Christian film/documentary or an important interview on Saturday evenings at 7:30pm. This is usually repeated at 12 noon on the Wednesday following.

See below for some of the highlights for the week ahead on Firstlight.

This Week's Special Program:

Maybe on Sunday
by James Arrabito

A documentary which examines the history of the Christian church in Europe, and the origin of Sunday keeping. It also explores persecution in a world where the church and state are united, and what could happen to Sabbath keepers who do not follow the coming international Sunday Law.

Is Heaven For Real?

Chris Holland

People have a lot to say about it. Some even claim to have been there. But what does the Bible say about heaven? Is it an actual place? Is it a faraway, floating sphere with clouds and babies playing harps? Today, more than any time in earth’s history, people are longing for something more—something better—something real they can count on for their future.
Using Scripture as a guide, Chris Holland answers questions such as the following: Is heaven a real place? When do we get to go? What will heaven be like? What about hell?
