It’s amazing how many UK Christian broadcasters there are today, given that Christian television in Great Britain only extends back some 30 years. We have seen the amazing growth of Christian media in the broadcast industry over the past two decades and more recently the rise of the online church in response to a global pandemic.
After several years of dormancy the Christian Broadcasting Council (CBC) has been revived to serve all UK Christian Broadcasters including online outreaches. One of the most effective ways we thought we could do this is by showcasing the diverse streams of Christian media across the British Isles.
Of course the role of the CBC goes back many years. It is only through ongoing lobbying of Government that our freedom to broadcast across the airwaves was secured. We recognised excellent faith-based programming through our annual awards and held symposiums in the House of Lords. Over the past few years we have had limited capacity but we haven’t stopped praying.
Our leaders have continued to intercede for all believers working in the broadcast industry, petitioning God to open more doors for the Gospel in our nation. We are now pleased to be able to bring UK Christian broadcasters, podcasters, YouTubers etc together, along with many allied services in this CBC UK Directory.
We hope you will find it useful and will support its development. The site is constantly developing and as more networks, online ministries, programme hosts etc submit their listings or update the listings we have created, we believe this directory will become a comprehensive resource for both the Christian media as well as the wider Body of Christ.
We also pray that as this listing of UK Christian Broadcasters grows, it will be a catalyst to help CBC revive the other large scale projects we have been involved in, including our popular Annual Awards. We ask you to join us in this Kingdom venture, as together we promote Christian media in all its forms.
UK Christian broadcasters – fulfilling the Great Commission together via media
We want to encourage all believers to work together to reach further with the Good News of Jesus Christ through media. We believe there is no more powerful way to fulfill the Great Commission than through media, taking a message of hope into people’s homes across the UK and beyond. We pray that this listing will empower all forms of Christian media in our country, helping them to thrive. May it introduce believers to new channels, broadcasters to new services and foster innovation and creativity.
We also hope for the CBC UK Directory to be full of educational articles that will mentor a new breed of UK Christian broadcasters, with broadcast professionals sharing best practice, ideas, tips etc to empower others. If you would like to submit such an article, please get in touch.
