Zendtijd voor Kerken (abbr. ZvK: English: Airtime for Churches) is a special broadcaster on the Netherlands Public Broadcasting system, which is allowed to broadcast on radio and television because of their religious background. Article 2.42 of the Dutch media law (the Mediawet) makes room for faith-based radio and television broadcasters who do not have to have any members, unlike regular public broadcasters (several of which are also faith-based).

They make programming for various church communities namely:

• The Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerken
• The Gereformeerde kerken in Nederland (vrijgemaakt)
• The Landelijk Platform van de Pinkster- en Volle Evangeliebeweging
• The Nederlands Gereformeerde Kerken
• The Unie van Baptistengemeenten in Nederland
• The Stichting Zendtijd Evangelische Gemeenten

IKON takes care of part of the technical facilities of ZvK.
