Faith FM recently celebrated a milestone, airing their 1000th ad for a local church around Australia. With more than 130 ads so far in 2025, the team is hoping for even more ads for churches next year.
“We’re probably the most informed ministry in Australia when it comes to knowing what’s happening with local church outreach,” said Faith FM producer Bradley Martin. “In the last few weeks, we’ve created ads for healthy cooking classes in Beaudesert (South Queensland), ADRA Community Connect Garden events in Wauchope (North New South Wales), a De-Stress health series in Manjimup (WA), and Christmas concerts in Wahroonga (Sydney), Mullumbimby (North New South Wales), and Gisborne (VIC). There’s also Pathfinder clubs, Road to Bethlehem, ADRA shops, playgroups, or simple invitations to come to church and enjoy fellowship with haystacks for lunch. Everything can be an opportunity!”
Faith FM has nearly 3 million monthly listeners according to a recent McCrindle Research survey, with approximately half the listenership describing themselves as non-Christian or non-religious. The network has over 370 stations, with sites in every state, territory, and major city in Australia, along with more remote and unusual locations like Lord Howe Island, Broken Hill, and even the Taranaki Peninsula in New Zealand.
“Whatever we air has two purposes; to share the gospel message with Australia, and to help listeners connect with local churches,” said Faith FM Content Manager Pastor Benjamin Ng. “We aim to make it as easy as possible to help local churches share with their community. Advertising on Faith FM for local churches is a free service, and we provide support for all parts of production, including scripting and voicing.”
Faith FM also helps to promote other church ministries including Avondale University, Signs of the Times, ADRA, and Hope Channel Australia.
“In multiple ways, what we do is all about amplification,” said Mr Martin. “We amplify, or increase the power and reach, of the message of Jesus across our country, and we amplify the message that the Adventist Church is here, active, loving, and open. Why not amplify what you’re already doing?”
