We welcome you into a community of theological engagement, because there is no other way to understand. We ask you to share in a community compelled to participate in God’s redemptive work in the world, because there is simply no other way to be. Theology is about God. Theology is life-transforming.

In accordance with Carey’s mission, the aim of these qualifications is to create thinking practitioners, scholars, and leaders who will stimulate and resource new knowledge, fresh and critical thinking, and the development of effective praxis in Christian ministry, mission, and leadership in New Zealand and beyond.
W
hen Christ ascended to the right hand of God the Father he promised he would send his Holy Spirit who would do, among other things, two principle works:
first, he will bring to mind what Christ has said and; second, lead the church into all truth (through John 14-16). The first work was inaugurated with the canon of Holy Scripture, the apostolic testimony to God and his works in the world. The second work is being fulfilled throughout the history of the Church as Christians read, pray, think, reflect, talk, work, and respond to the Word and Spirit of God. Carey Graduate School invites you to join in this Spirit-filled conversation in order to find your voice and your place in the Kingdom of God being built amongst the kingdoms of the world. All theology is applied and all applications are theological—we call that theology applied. We welcome you to our community of scholarship and Christian witness.
MYK HABETS HEAD OF GRADUATE SCHOOL

“I feel incredibly privileged to have studied at Carey where academia and life beautifully collide. My time at the college has deepened my understanding of the loving heart of the Father, the person of Christ, and the ever present Spirit. Having genuine access to the Faculty, many of whom have practiced as pastors and missionaries, causes the biblical material taught to be grounded in an applied real world context. My love for God is all the richer for being obedient to His call and coming under the care and covering of this covenant community. It has been empowering and liberating. I have been challenged in my theology to consider not just what I believe but why I believe. Discovering new pathways into the Word has been invaluable in discerning Christ’s voice and will continue to be so as I walk with Emmanuel and His people.” —LYNDON TWEMLOW Pastoral Leadership Student
“I am hugely grateful to be part of the academic community at Carey where excellence in scholarship is firmly grounded in deep relationship with Jesus. I have found studying here to be a life-giving experience that both encourages and equips me to serve in ministry in NZ and overseas. Being a distance student requires me to attend block courses where I have thoroughly enjoyed the warmth and inclusiveness of the staff and students. I can unreservedly say that I feel really blessed and privileged to study under such exceptional lecturers.” —EMMA STOKES Postgraduate Student (Distance)
At Carey I’ve been enriched in my love of God, his word, his church, his mission, and his world. Biblical courses assisted me to see God and His world through the lens of scripture; studying theology provided a framework for thinking about God and worshiping Him as Holy Trinity; mission and ministry classes prompted reflection on how these beliefs and convictions work out in practice in our world; and all this was done within the context of the vibrant Carey community. In the pastoral leadership track we wrestled together with how we might serve, lead, and equip the church to participate in Christ’s local and global mission. Studies in the postgraduate programme have helped nuance my understanding, and are equipping me to lead in community with clear vision and conviction. This is a transformational place! —ELLIOT RICE Postgraduate Student
The Bible is the foundation for understanding God, the world, ourselves, the church, and mission. You are invited to broaden your understanding by studying with us. Theology. Applied.
