This app is the national communication platform of the Baptist Union of New Zealand. This union is the 250 member churches and faith communities located within six Regional Baptist Associations throughout the country. Replacing the printed Baptist magazine and newspaper after 146 years, this app is the home of great content that shares the stories of gospel renewal to people and places, articles that encourage, inspire, and inform, as well as podcasts and video to support, resource, and bring together the team of 40,000 Baptists in Aotearoa New Zealand. This app toggles between any local Baptist church that is also using the EzyChurch platform to share local church newsletters, rosters, sermons, events, and other local church content. The CSC Buying Group discounts are also easily accessed giving discounts to more than 30 New Zealand retailers.
