About Manna Christian Stores
Manna Christian Store, born from the merger of Bible Society New Zealand and Manna Christian Stores in 2017, stands on the shoulders of giants. Our story begins in 1846, when the Auckland Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society was founded, sparking a movement to spread God's Word across New Zealand. In 1972, Manna Christian Stores opened its first store, driven by a passion to serve God's people and share the Gospel.
Our Mission: Making the Bible Accessible to All
Today, we continue this legacy, united in our mission to make the Bible accessible to everyone and to encourage interaction with it. From our online store to our eight physical locations across New Zealand, we're committed to providing a wide range of Christian resources and supporting the spiritual growth of our community.
