Community Access Media Alliance is the national body for the 12 independently-owned Community Access Media stations across Aotearoa. Our vision is for Aotearoa to have a vibrant, diverse, innovative, and sustainable Community Access Media sector valued for its democratic, community, and cultural uniqueness.
Wanting to be a broadcaster, radio host, content-creator, programme-maker, show-maker, or podcaster? Our 12 stations can help you make your own media. On-air or online, radio is a simple and inexpensive way to talk to your community-of-interest in any language.
Whether you’re a government entity, NGO, non-profit, company, or organisation, we can help you tailor your messages to speak directly and authentically to your target audience – in their language.
Now more than ever, local voices need to be heard. We’re building a more inclusive media landscape — one where everyone has access to create, participate, and thrive. But we can’t do it without you.
Your donation helps the sector keep the mics on:
Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

For Shona Glentworth, volunteering has never just been about giving her time – it has been about getting involved, giving back, learning, and making connections. Her journey began with Young Farmers while growing up in Eltham and has since taken her into an incredible variety of roles. These include Big Brothers Big Sisters, Taranaki Hockey, Pioneer Village, Taranaki Netball, Air Ambulance, and helping establish the Hāwera cinema to name but a few! Shona’s long association with the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce saw her serve on the Board, become Chair and a Life Member. She continues to volunteer as a judge for the Taranaki Business Excellence Awards. Today, alongside board roles, Shona supports young children through grief and loss as a volunteer companion on the Seasons for Growth Programme. Shona shares with us how volunteering has helped her develop skills, embrace new opportunities, meet a variety of people and give back to the communities she has called home.
God's love is different from human love. His love is unconditional, unwavering, steadfast, never ending. It does not expire when we make mistakes. His love existed before our failures or struggles. God demonstrates His love while we were sinners.
In this episode, Mike and James explore Adventism’s historic claim to “have the truth” and how that mindset can make it difficult to learn from those outside the denominational walls. They reflect on biblical and Adventist examples that challenge the assumption that being used by God means having everything correct, before turning to how our need to be right can shape the way we relate to others—and even make Christian evangelism feel more like a sales pitch than a genuine conversation.

Acts 8 follows the persecuted church as believers carry the gospel from Jerusalem into Judea and Samaria, where Philip proclaims Christ and confirms the message with signs of deliverance and healing. The episode emphasizes that persecution cannot stop God’s mission: the gospel advances by the Spirit, brings the blessings of the new covenant, and gathers even the Samaritans into one people of God.

In this episode of Spiritual Chats, Jeremy and Zac conclude their two-part series on artificial intelligence by examining its subtle impact on human relationships, emotional health, and faith. The conversation explores how technology is shifting from an attention economy to an affection economy, with AI tools increasingly designed to simulate emotional bonding and companionship. Rather than viewing these developments with anxiety, Jeremy and Zach discuss how Christians and local communities can respond with wisdom. They highlight the growing necessity of genuine human interaction, small group gatherings, intentional hospitality, and authentic prayer as essential antidotes to digital isolation.
